The  second  volume,  compiled  by  the  Rev.  Mr.  van  Der 
Werp,  of  the  Christian  Reformed  Church,  draws  its  text 
largely  from  the  version  of  the  Joint  Committee,  with  many 
additions  however  from  other  sources  and  including  a  con- 
siderable number  of  new  renderings  especially  prepared 
for  this  volume.  Its  characteristic  feature  is  the  repro- 
duction of  certain  peculiar  meters  familiar  for  centuries 
to  Hollander's,  and  associated  with  much  loved  music  by 
such  masters  as  L.  Bourgeois,  Maitre  Pierre  and  Mattheus 
Greiter.  Fine  music  it  is,  and  we  are  not  surprised  that 
our  Holland  brethren  in  this  country,  to  some  extent  at 
least,  wish  to  sing  these  old  songs  of  Zion  as  they  have 
been  sung  for  generations  in  the  Fatherland.  It  is  to  be 
presumed  that  such  will  welcome  this  volume  which  en- 
ables them  to  retain  this  music  with  English  words.  The 
music  is  in  variety  and  well  chosen.  There  are  also  many 
pleasing  compositions  by  the  accomplished  compiler.  These 
last,  including  possible  repetitions  (there  is  no  index),  are 
over  eightv   in   number.  E.  A.  C.

NEW  METRICAL  VERSION 


WITH 


TUNES  NEW  AND  OLD 


PREFACE. 


This  New  Metrical  Version  of  tiie  Psalms  — tiie  result  of  nine  years  of  conscientious 
labor  —  has  been  prepared  by  a  Joint  Committee,  representing  nine  Reformed  and 
Presbyterian  Churches  in  the  United  States  and  Canada,  afterwards  carefully  revised 
by  a  Committee  of  the  United  Presbyterian  Church,  with  the  assistance  of  the  Rev. 
Ed)yard  A.  Collier  D.D.  of  the  Reformed  Church  in  America,  and  of  the  Rev.  Charles 
E.  Craven  D.D.  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  in  the  United  States  of  America,  both  of 
whom  had  shown  exceptional  gifts  as  members  of  the  Joint  Committee. 

This  version  has  been  unanimously  approved  by  the  afore-mentioned  Churches  and 
either  recommended  or  adopted  for  use  in  their  Public  Worship. 

We  owe  especial  thanks  to  the  United  Presbyterian  Board  of  Publication,  which 
kindly  allowed  us  the  use  of  some  beautiful  renderings  of  the  psalms,  as  found  in 
"Lyrics  from  the  Psalter"  by  the  Rev.  Edward  A.  Collier  D.D.,  as  also  to  the  doctor 
himself  for  assisting  us  in  the  translation  of  some  psalms,  to  be  sung  to  those  favorite 
Dutch  tunes,  which  are  found  in  this  collection. 

His  name  accompanies  the  psalms  he  expressly  wrote  for  this  publication. 

The  tunes,  we  trust,  will  find  favor  with  those,  who  desire  simplicity  combined 
with  solemnity  in  the  Lord's  praise. 

Only  the  new  tunes  are  marked  with  the  initials  of  the  compiler,  the  others  being 
well  known  and  classic. 

The  tunes  to  Pss.  6,  25,  42,  66,  68,  89,  98,  100,  116,  118,  124  and  134  are  used  by 
the  Reformed  Churches  in  the  Netherlands,  with  the  music  as  sung  in  the  days 
of  Calvin.  L.  Bourgeois,  Maitre  Pierre  and  Mattheus  Greiter  were  the  composers. 
Mr.  H.  P.  Steenhuis,  a  Dutch  composer  of  the  present  day,  arranged  them  for  organ 
or  piano.  — 

May  the  blessing  of  the  Most  High  accompany  the  following  pages  to  the  glory  of 
His  Name!

The  Lord  from  out  his  holy  hill 
Gives  answer  when  I  cry. 

3.  I  laid  me  down  and  slept,  I  waked, 

Because  the  Lord  sustains; 
Though  many  thousands  compass  me. 
Unmoved  my  soul  remains. 

4.  Arise,  O  Lord;  save  me,  my  God; 

For  Thou  hast  owned  my  cause. 
And  oft  hast  beaten  down  my  foes 
Who  scorn  Thy  righteous  laws. 

5.  Salvation  to  the  Lord  belongs. 

In  Him  His  saints  are  blest. 
O  let  Thy  blessing  evermore 
Upon  Thy  people  rest.

How  long  my  glory  turn  to  shame. 
How  long  will  ye  vain  follies  prize, 
How  long  pursue  deceit  and  lies? 

3.  But  know,  the  Lord  has  set  apart 
The  man  of  godly  life  and  heart 
To  be  His  favored  one  for  aye; 
Jehovah  hears  me  when  I  pray. 

4.  In  reverence  wait,  from  sin  depart, 
In  meditation  calm  your  heart; 
Hold  fast  the  right,  be  true  and  just, 
And  in  Jehovah  put  your  trust. 

5.  O  who  will  show  us  any  good, 
Exclaims  the  faithless  multitude; 
But  lift  on  us,  O  Lord,  we  pray, 
The  brightness  of  Thy  face  this  day. 

6.  More  joy  from  Thee  has  filled  my  heart 
Than  great  abundance  could  impart; 

I  lay  me  down  to  peaceful  sleep, 
For  Thou,  O  Lord,  dost  safely  keep.

Establish  the  righteous,  let  evil  depart, 
For  God  Who  is  just  tries  the  thoughts  of  the  heart. 
In  God  for  defense  I  have  placed  all  my  trust; 
The  upright  He  saves  and  He  judges  the  just. 

The  Lord  with  the  wicked  is  wroth  every  day, 

And  if  they  repent  not  is  ready  to  slay; 

By  manifold  ruin  for  others  prepared 

They  surely  at  last  shall  themselves  be  ensnared. 

Because  He  is  righteous  His  praise  I  will  sing. 
Thanksgiving  and  honor  to  Him  I  will  bring, 
Will  sing  to  the  Lord  on  Whose  grace  I  rely, 
Extolling  the  Name  of  Jehovah  Most  High.

PSALM  10  (I). 


1.    Why  standestThou  a   -   far,    O  Lord,  Why  art  Thou  hid    in    trouble's   hour? 


The  wielded   per-se  -  cute   the    poor       In  haughty  pride  and  reck-less  power. 


Let  their  devices  work  their  fall , 
For  in  their  shame  is  all  their  pride; 

And  while  they  seek  unrighteous  gain 
The  Lord  of  justice  is  defied. 


Arise ,  O  Lord ,  lift  up  Thy  hand , 
O  God,  protect  the  poor  and  meek; 

Why  should  the  proud  Thy  justice  doubt. 
And  words  of  bold  defiance  speak  ? 


The  wicked  thinks,  in  foolish  pride, 
There  is  no  God  Who  will  repay ; 

He  has  no  fear  of  God  or  man 
Because  God's  judgments  long  delay. 


O  Lord,  Thou  wilt  indeed  requite. 
The  sin  and  sorrow  Thou  dost  see ; 

The  helpless  and  the  fatherless 
Commit  themselves,  O  Lord,  to  Thee. 


Unmoved  by  fear  of  coming  doom  , 
On  fraud  and  wickedness  intent , 

With  craft  he  lurks  and  waits  to  catch 
The  helpless  and  the  innocent. 

5. 

A  lion  crouching  for  his  prey. 
He  waits  the  poor  to  overthrow  ; 

He  thinks  that  God  remembers  not, 
Or  hides  His  face  and  will  not  know. 


Break  Thou  the  power  of  wicked  men 
And  let  their  works  no  longer  stand ; 

The  Lord  is  King  forevermore , 
Who  drove  the  nations  from  His  land. 


Lord,  Thou  hast  heard' the  lowly  prayer, 
The  fainting  heart  Thou  wilt  restore. 

The  helpless  cause  Thou  wilt  maintain. 
That  mortal   man  may  boast  no  more.

2. 

The  wicked  in  his  pride 

Has  said,  He'll  not  requite; 
He  thinks  there  is  no  God 

To  vindicate  the  right; 
He  prospers  in  his  ways  , 

He  thinks  Thy  judgments  cease; 
He  puffs  at  all  his  foes ; 

He  looks  for  endless  peace. 


Do  Thou  ,  0  Lord  ,  arise , 

O  God,  lift  up  Thy  hand. 
Do  not  forget  the  poor , 

The  humble  in  the  land. 
Why  does  the  wicked  man 

Contemn  the  God  of  might, 
And  say  within  his  heart 

Thou  never  wilt  requite  ? 


3. 

His  mouth  is  ever  full 

Of  cursing,  lies,  and  wrong 
Iniquity  and  fraud 

Are  underneath  his  tongue. 
He  sits  in  village  dens, 

In  coverts  he  abides , 
To  slay  the  innocent 

Himself  in  secret  hides. 


7. 

But  Thou  hast  seen  it  all ,  — 

Their  mischief  and  their  spite; 
Thy  piercing  eye  beholds, 

And  Thou  wilt  soon  requite. 
The  helpless  and  the  poor 

Commit  themselves  to  Thee  ; 
The  helper  Thou  hast  been 

Of  those  that  orphans  be. 


His  eyes  unseen  are  set 

The  helpless  to  ensnare  ; 
He  lurks  in  coverts  dark 

As  lion  in  his  lair ; 
He  watchful  lies  in  wait 

To  catch  the  helpless  poor, 
He  takes  him  in  his  net 

And  holds  him  fast  and  sure. 


Break  Thou  the  sinner's  arm : 

Subdue  the  evil  one; 
Seek  out  his  wickedness 

Until  Thou  findest  none. 
The  Lord  is  king  for  aye , 

And  firm  His  throne  shall  stand. 
The  nations  are  destroyed , 

Are  perished  from  His  land. 


Himself  he  humbles  low  ; 

He  crouches  down  withal , 
That  so  the  helpless  poor 

May  by  his  strong  ones  fall. 
He  says  within  his  heart 

That  God  has  quite  forgot 
And  turned  away  His  face ; 

His  eye  will  see  it  not. 


The  longing  of  the  meek, 

Jehovah,  Thou  dost  hear; 
Their  heart  Thou  wilt  confirm  , 

And  wilt  incline  Thine  ear. 
To  judge  the  fatherless , 

And  end  oppression  sore , 
That  man  who  is  of  earth 

May  terrify  no  more.

O  Lord  my  God ,  behold  me , 

And  hear  my  earnest  cries; 
Lest  sleep  of  death  enfold  me , 

Enlighten  Thou  mine  eyes; 
Lest  now  my  foe  insulting 

Should  boast  of  his  success  , 
And  enemies  exulting 

Rejoice  in  my  distress. 


But  I  with  expectation 

Have  on  Thy  grace  relied ; 
My  heart  in  Thy  salvation 

Shall  still  with  joy  confide. 
And  I  with  voice  of  singing 

Will  praise  the  Lord  above, 
Who  richest  bounties  bringing 

Has  dealt  with  me  in  love.

2.  From  heaven  the  Lord  with  searching  eye 
Looked  down  the  sons  of  men  to  try , 
To  see  if  any  understood 

And  sought  for  God,  the  only  good. 

3.  From  righteousness  they  all  depart, 
Corrupt  are  all,  and  vile  in  heart; 
Yea,  every  man  has  evil  done; 
Not  one  does  good,  not  even  one. 

4.  Has  knowledge  with  the  wicked  failed. 
That  they  my  people  have  assailed, 
That  they  delight  in  works  of  shame, 
And  call  not  on  Jehovah's  Name? 

5.  Thy  lowly  servant  they  despise, 
Because  he  on  the  Lord  relies; 
But  they  shall  tremble  yet  in  fear. 
For  to  the  righteous  God  is  near. 

6.  O  that  from  Zion  His  abode 
Salvation  were  on  us  bestowed! 
When  God  His  exiles  shall  restore. 
They  shall  in  song  His  grace  adore.

Their  woes  shall  abound  who  Jehovah  disown  , 
And  seek  after  others  as  gods  to  enthrone ;

Yea,  goodly  my  portion,  for  Thou  art  my  all.

My  heart  shall  instruct  me  in  night  seasons  still.

With  Thee  at  my  right  hand  I  shall  not  be  moved. 

5. 

My  heart  shall  be  glad  ,  and  my  spirit  rejoice , 
My  flesh  dwell  in  safety  awaiting  Thy  voice. 
Thou  wilt  not  abandon  my  soul  to  death's  gloom  , 
Nor  leave  Thy  beloved  to  waste  in  the  tomb. 


But  life's  brightening  pathway  to  me  Thou  wilt  show: 
And  fulness  of  joy  in  Thy  presence  bestow  ; 
Within  Thy  right  hand,  for  Thy  saints  kept  secure, 
Are  pleasures  unmingled  that  ever  endure.

Of  joy  a  boundless  store

Do  Thou  my  rest  and  refuge  be, 
O  let  Thy  wings  o'ershadow  me. 


My  enemy,  grown  strong  in  pride. 

Would  take  my  life  away, 
A  lion  lurking  by  my  side. 

Most  greedy  for  his  prey. 
Confront  and  cast  him  down,  O  Lord, 
From  evil  save  me  by  Thy  sword. 

Defend  me  from  the  men  of  pride. 

Whose  portion  is  below, 
Who,  with  life's  treasures  satisfied, 

No  better  portion  know; 
They,  with  earth's  joys  and  wealth  content, 
Must  leave  them  all  when  life  is  spent. 

But  I  in  righteousness  at  last 

Thy  glorious  face  shall  see; 
When  all  the  weary  night  is  past. 

And  I  awake  with  Thee 
To  view  the  glories  that  abide. 
Then,  then  I  shall  be  satisfied.

2.  When,  floods  of  evil  raging  near, 

Down  nigh  to  death  my  soul  was  brought, 
I  cried  to  God  in  all  my  fear ; 

He  heard  and  great  deliverance  wrought. 
He  came;  the  earth's  foundations  quake. 

The  hills  are  shaken  from  their  place , 
Thick  smoke  and  fire  devouring  break 

In  anger  dread  before  His  face. 

3.  Descending  through  the  bending  skies, 

With  gloom  and  darkness  under  Him, 
Forth  through  the  storm  Jehovah  flies 

As  on  the  wings  of  cherubim. 
Thick  darkness  hides  Him  from  the  view. 

And  swelling  clouds  His  presence  veil , 
Until  His  glorious  light  breaks  through 

In  lightning  flash  and  glistening  hail. 

4.  Jehovah's  thunders  fill  the  heaven , 

The  dreadful  voice  of  God  Most  High; 
With  shafts  of  light  the  clouds  are  riven , 

His  foes,  dismayed,  in  terror  fly. 
The  raging  torrents  overflow , 

And  sweep  the  world's  foundations  bare. 
Because  Thy  blasts  of  anger  blow , 

O  Lord  of  earth  and  sea  and  air. 

5.  He  took  me  from  the  whelming  waves 

Of  bitter  hate  and  sore  distress ; 
The  Lord,  my  stay  and  helper,  saves, 

Though  mighty  foes  around  me  press. 
From  direful  straits  He  set  me  free , 

He  saved  the  man  of  His  delight : 
For  good  the  Lord  rewarded  me  , 

Because  1  kept  His  ways  aright. 


Since  with  my  God  with  perfect  heart 

1  walk  and  make  His  word  my  guide, 
And  from  iniquity  depart. 

The  Lord  His  blessing  will  provide. 
The  merciful  shall  know  Thy  grace , 

The  perfect  Thy  perfection  see, 
The  pure  shall  see  Thine  own  pure  face. 

The  froward  find  a  foe  in  Thee. 

To  smite  the  proud  and  bring  them  low , 

To  save  the  poor  is  Thy  delight. 
The  Lord  will  cause  my  lamp  to  glow. 

My  God  will  make  my  darkness  light. 
From  God  the  victory  I  receive; 

Most  perfect  is  His  holy  way; 
His  word  is  tried,  they  who  believe 

Will  find  the  Lord  their  shield  and  stay. 

For  who  is  God,  and  strong  to  save, 

Beside  the  Lord,  our  God  of  might? 
'Tis  He  that  makes  me  strong  and  brave. 

The  Lord  Who  guides  my  steps  aright. 
Thy  free  salvation  is  my  shield. 

My  sure  defense  in  every  strait ; 
Thy  hand  upholds  me,  lest  1  yield; 

The  gentleness  has  made  me  great. 

As  Thou ,  O  Lord ,  hast  made  me  strong 

To  overcome  my  mighty  foe , 
So  now  to  fight  against  the  wrong 

And  conquer  in  Thy  Name  1  go. 
From  strife  Thou  wilt  deliver  me, 

And  make  the  nations  own  my  sway; 
Strange  peoples,  when  my  power  they  see. 

Shall  come  with  trembling  and  obey. 


10. Jehovah  lives,  and  blest  is  He, 

My  rock,  my  refuge  and  defense, 
My  Saviour  Who  delivers  me , 

And  will  the  wicked  recompense. 
For  grace  and  mercy  ever  near. 

For  foes  subdued  and  victories  won  , 
All  nations  of  the  earth  shall  hear 

My  praise  for  what  the  Lord  has  done.

Forsaking  his  tent  in  the  sl<y , 

Arrayed  as  a  bridegroom,  the  sun 
Comes  forth  in  his  glorious  strength  , 

Rejoicing  his  circuit  to  run. 
He  tells  through  the  length  of  the  heavens 

His  Maker's  great  wisdom  and  might , 
And  nothing  in  all  of  the  earth 

Is  hid  from  his  heat  and  his  light. 

The  law  that  the  Lord  has  ordained 

is  perfect,  the  soul  to  restore; 
His  truth  makes  the  simple  most  wise , 

The  truth  that  is  sure  evermore. 
His  precepts  are  righteous  and  just, 

Rejoicing  the  heart  and  the  mind  ; 
And  all  His  commandments  are  pure  , 

Enlightening  the  eyes  of  the  blind. 

The  fear  of  the  Lord  is  most  clean  , 

Forever  unmoved  it  has  stood  ; 
His  judgments  are  perfectly  true  , 

In  all  things  most  righteous  and  good. 
Such  treasure  no  gold  can  supply  , 

Such  sweetness  no  honey  afford  ; 
Their  warnings  none  heed  and  obey 

But  find  most  abundant  reward. 


0  who  can  his  errors  discern  ? 

From  hidden  faults.  Lord,  keep  me  free 
Let  pride  never  reign  in  my  heart , 
And  clear  of  great  sin  I  shall  be. 

1  pray  that  my  words  and  my  thoughts 
May  all  with  Thy  precepts  accord  , 

And  ever  be  pleasing  to  Thee  , 

My  Rock,  my  Redeemer,  my  Lord.

In  thy  salvation  we  rejoice  , 

And  in  God's  Name  our  banners  raise; 
Jehovah  hearken  to  thy  voice , 

Fulfil  thy  prayers  through  all  thy  days. 
Salvation  will  the  Lord  command, 

And  His  anointed  will  defend; 
Yea,  with  the  strenght  of  His  right  hand 

From  heaven  He  will  an  answer  send. 


How  vain  their  every  confidence 

Who  on  mere  human  help  rely; 
But  we  remember  for  defense 

The  Name  of  God,  the  Lord  Most  High. 
Now  we  arise  and  upright  stand, 

While  they,  subdued  and  helpless,  fall; 
Jehovah,  save  us  by  Thy  hand, 

The  King  give  answer  when  we  call.

All  the  blessings  of  goodness  Thou  freely  didst  give; 

With  the  purest  of  gold  He  is  crowned; 
When  He  asked  of  Thee  life  Thou  hast  made  Him  to  live 

While  the  ages  shall  circle  around. 


Through  salvation  from  Thee  hath  His  fame  spread  abroad, 

Thou  didst  glory  and  honor  impart; 
Thou  hast  made  Him  most  blessed  forever,  O  God,

And  shall  stand  evermore  in  His  grace. 

5. 

By  the  hand  of  Thy  might  and  Thine  anger  destroyed, 

All  Thy  foes  and  their  offspring  shall  fail; 
By  the  evil  they  planned  and  the  craft  they  employed 

They  shall  never  against  Thee  prevail. 


6. 

Thou  wilt  speedily  make  them  turn  backward  in  flight, 
When  Thine  arrows  are  aimed  to  destroy. 

O  Jehovah,  be  Thou  far  exalted  in  might. 
And  Thy  power  shall  our  praises  employ.

3. 

Reproached  of  men,  by  all  despised, 
A  worm  and  not  a  man  am  1; 

Ail  they  that  see  me  laugh  in  scorn , 
They  nod,  shoot  out  the  lip,  and  cry, 

"He  trusts  the  Lord,  let  Him  defend 

And  save  him  since  He  is  his  friend." 


Thou  gavest  life,  Thou  mad'st  me  trust 
When  1  was  on  my  mother's  breast; 

From  birth  dependent  on  Thy  care. 
Thou  art  my  God ,  in  Thee  1  rest. 

Be  not  far  off,  for  grief  is  nigh; 

There's  none  on  whom  1  can  rely. 

5. 

As  herds  of  bulls  that  roam  the  wild 
My  cruel  foes  about  me  throng; 

They  compass  and  beset  me  round. 
Like  bulls  of  Bashan  fierce  and  strong; 

Like  lions  roaring  on  their  prey. 

Their  mouths  they  open  wide  to  slay. 


My  life  like  water  is  poured  out; 

My  bones  all  out  of  joint  do  part; 
And  like  a  shard  my  strength  is  dried; 

Like  wax  so  melted  is  my  heart; 
My  tongue  and  jaws  together  cling, 
And  Thou  to  death  my  soul  dost  bring. 

7. 

Like  dogs  the  wicked  close  me  in  , 
Yea,   they  have  pierced  my  hands  and  feet, 

And  I  may  number  all  my  bones; 
They  look  and  stare  who  round  me  meet; 

My  garments  'mong  them  they  divide, 

And  on  my  robe  by  lot  decide. 

8. 

But  be  not  far  from  me ,  O  Lord ; 

Haste,  O  my  Strength,  give  help  to  me: 
My  soul  deliver  from  the  sword; 

My  life  from  dogs,  from  lions  free, 
From  oxen's  horns,  lest  I  be  rent. 
Thou  hast  to  me  an  answer  sent. 


To  all  my  brethren  I'll  declare 

The  glory  of  Thy  holy  name; 
III  praise  Thee  where  the  people  meet. 

Who  fear  the  Lord,  His  praise  proclaim; 
Ye  seed  of  Jacob,  praise  His  grace; 
And  stand  in  awe ,  all  Israel's  race. 

10. 

For  He  hath  not  despised  the  poor. 
Nor  hath  abhorred  their  wretched  state; 

He  hath  not  turned  away  His  face 
From  those  who  are  in  trouble  great; 

But  when  they  cried  to  Him  in  grief, 

He  heard  their  prayer  and  sent  relief. 

11. 

Amid  the  assembly  of  the  saints 
My  praises  shall  arise  to  Thee; 

I'll  pay  my  vows  with  them  that  fear; 
The  meek  shall  eat  and  filled  shall  be; 

Who  seek  the  Lord  shall  Him  adore; 

Your  heart  shall  live  for  evermore. 

12. 

All  ends  of  earth,  remembering  Him. 

Shall  turn,  repending,  to  the  Lord; 
The  kindreds  of  the  nations  then 

To  Him  their  homage  shall  accord; 
Because  the  Lord  all  empire  owns, 
And  rules  above  all  earthly  thrones. 

13. 

The  rich  and  mighty  of  the  earth 
Shall  eat  and  low  before  Him  bend; 

And  in  His  presence  all  shall  bow 
Who  helpless  to  the  dust  descend. 

Yea,  even  the  very  poor  who  strive. 

But  cannot  keep  their  souls  alive. 

14. 

A  seed  shall  serve  Him  evermore; 

And  of  the  Lord  it  shall  be  told 
To  every  age;  yea,  they  shall  come 

And  shall  His  righteousness  unfold 
To  peoples  that  are  yet  unknown, 
That  this  was  done  by  Him  alone.

41 


But  Thou  art  holy  in  Thy  ways, 
Enthroned  upon  Thy  people's  praise; 
Our  fathers  put  their  trust  in  Thee, 
Believed,  and  Thou  didst  set  them  free. 


They  cried,  and,  trusting  in  Thy  Name, 
Were  saved ,  and  were  not  put  to  shame ; 
But  in  the  dust  My  honor  lies, 
While  ail  reproach  and  all  despise. 


My  words  a  cause  for  scorn  they  make. 
The  lip  they  curl,  the  head  they  shake. 
And,  mocking,  bid  Me  trust  the  Lord 
Till  He  salvation  shall  afford. 


My  trust  on  Thee  1  learned  to  rest 
When  1  was  on  My  mother's  breast; 
From  birth  My  life  has  ever  known 
Thy  care:  Thou  art  My  God  alone. 


O  let  Thy  strength  and  presence  cheer , 
For  trouble  and  distress  are  near; 
Be  Thou  not  far  away  from  Me, 
For  I  have  none  to  help  but  Thee. 


Unnumbered  foes  would  do  Me  wrong; 
They  press  about  Me,  fierce  and  strong; 
Like  beasts  of  prey  their  rage  they  vent; 
My  courage  fails.  My  strength  is  spent. 


Down  unto  death  Thou  leadest  Me, 
Consumed  by  thirst  and  agony; 
With  cruel  hate  and  anger  fierce 
My  helpless  hands  and  feet  they  pierce. 

9. 

While  on  My  wasted  form  they  stare. 
The  garments  torn  from  Me  they  share, 
My  shame  and  sorrow  heeding  not, 
And  for  My  robe  they  cast  the  lot. 

10. 

O  Lord,  afar  no  longer  stay; 

0  Thou  My  helper,  haste,  1  pray; 
From  death  and  evil  set  Me  free. 

1  live!  for  Thou  didst  answer  Me. 


11. 

1  live  and  will  declare  Thy  fame 
Where  brethren  gather  in  Thy  Name; 
Where  all  Thy  faithful  people  meet, 
I  will  Thy  worthy  praise  repeat. 

12. 

All  ye  that  fear  Jehovah's  Name, 
His  glory  tell ,  His  praise  proclaim ; 
Ye  children  of  His  chosen  race, 
Stand  ye  in  awe  before  His  face. 

13. 

The  suffering  one  He  has  not  spurned 
Who  unto  Him  for  succor  turned; 
From  him  He  has  not  hid  His  face. 
But  answered  his  request  in  grace. 

14. 

0  Lord,  Thy  goodness  makes  Me  raise 
Amid  Thy  people  songs  of  praise; 
Before  all  them  that  fear  Thee,  now 

1  worship  Thee  and  pay  My  vow. 

15. 

For  all  the  meek  Thou  wilt  provide, 
They  shall  be  fed  and  satisfied  ; 
All  they  that  seek  the  Lord  shall  live 
And  never-ending  praises  give. 

16. 

The  ends  of  all  the  earth  shall  hear 
And  turn  unto  the  Lord  in  fear; 
All  kindreds  of  the  earth  shall  own 
And  worship  Him  as  God  alone. 

17. 

For  His  the  kingdom,  His  of  right; 
He  rules  the  nations  by  His  might; 
All  earth  to  Him  her  homage  brings, 
The  Lord  oi  lords,  the  King  of  kings. 

18. 

Both  rich  and  poor,  both  bond  and  free, 
Shall  worship  Him  with  bended  knee, 
And  children's  children  shall  proclaim 
The  glorious  honor  of  His  Name. 

19. 

The  Lord's  unfailing  righteousness 

All  generations  shall  confess; 

From  age  to  age  shall  men  be  taught 

What  wondrous  works  the  Lord  has  wrought.

Lord,  Thy  ways  of  love  revealing, 

All  Thy  paths  make  known  to  me; 
in  Thy  truth  guide  Thou  my  footsteps 

And  therein  my  Teacher  be. 
All  day  long- for  Thee  I  wait; 

God  my  Savior  I  adore  Thee ; 
Former  mercies,  free  and  great, 

Be  remembered,  1  implore  Thee. 

3. 

All  my  sins  of  youth  forgetting. 

Do  not  Thou  their  guilt  record; 
Bui  remember  me  in  mercy 

For  Thy  goodness'  sake ,  o  Lord. 
Thou  art  upright,  good  and  kind, 

Sinners  in  Thy  way  instructing, 
And  all  those  of  lowly  mind 

in  Thy  righteous  paths  conducting. 


All  Thy  paths  are  truth  and  kindness 

For  Thy  saints  who  for  Thee  wait. 
For  Thy  name's  sake  grant  me  pardon, 

For  my  sin  is  very  great. 
Unto  him  that  feareth  Thee 

Thou  wilt  teach  the  way  of  blessing; 
Happy  days  his  eyes  shall  see, 

And  his  sons  the  land  possessing. 


With  His  saints  abides  His  friendship. 

They  His  faithful  covenant  share. 
Unto  Him  mine  eyes  are  looking 

For  deliverance  from  the  snare. 
Turn  to  me .  O  Lord  ,  return 

With  Thy  mercy's  benediction  ; 
Desolate ,  for  Thee  I  yearn  , 

Sore  cast  down  by  my  affliction. 


Troubles  of  my  heart  relieving , 

Help  from  my  distress  accord ; 
See  my  pain  and  my  affliction  , 

And  forgive  my  sins ,  O  Lord. 
O  consider  Thou  my  foes !  ' 

Many  they  who  would  not  spare  me  : 
Without  cause  do  they  oppose , 

And  a  cruel  hatred  bear  me. 

7. 

Keep,  oh  keep  my  soul  and  save  me; 

Let  me  not  be  put  to  shame. 
Truth  and  honor  still  preserveme  , 

Taking  refuge  in  Thy  name.' 
Trusting  in  Thy  power  supreme , 

Lord  ,  I  wait  for  Thy  salvation  ; 
For  Thou  wilt  Thy  church  redeem 

Out  of  all  her  tribulation.

PSALM  25  (II). 


1.  Lord,    I  lift     my      soul     to       Thee,    O       my     God,     1        trust     Thy 

2.  Yea,    may    none    be       put      to     shame.  None  who  wait     for     Thee      to 


might;  Let    not    foes     ex  -  ult       o'er       me,  Shame  me    not    be  -  fore  their  sight, 
bless;    But    dis-honor-ed      be      their  name,  Who  with-out     a  cause  transgress.

3.  Lord,  to  me  Thy  ways  make  known 

Guide  in  truth  and  teach  Thou  me; 
Thou  my  Saviour  art  alone, 
All  the  day  I  wait  for  Thee. 

4.  Lord,  remember  in  Thy  love 

All  Thy  mercies  manifold. 
Tender  mercies  from  above. 
Changeless  from  the  days  of  old. 

5.  Sins  of  youth  remember  not. 

Nor  my  trespasses  record : 
Let  not  mercy  be  forgot , 
For  Thy  goodness'  sake .  O  Lord. 

6.  Just  and  good  the  Lord  abides. 

He  His  way  will  sinners  show, 
He  the  meek  in  justice  guides. 
Making  them  His  way  to  know. 

7.  Grace  and  truth  shall  mark  the  way 

Where  the  Lord  His  own  will  lead, 
If  His  word  they  still  obey 
And  His  testimonies  heed. 

8.  For  Thy  Name's  sake  hear  Thou  me. 

For  Thy  mercy,  Lord,  I  wait; 
Pardon  my  iniquity. 
For  my  sin  is  very  great. 


9.    He  who  walks  in  godly  fear 
In  the  path  ot  truth  shall  go; 
Peace  shall  be  his  portion  here. 
And  his  sons  all  good  shall  know. 

10.  They  that  fear  and  love  the  Lord 

Shall  Jehovah's  friendship  know; 
He  will  grace  to  them  accord. 
And  His  faithful  covenant  show. 

11.  Ever  are  my  longing  eyes 

Toward  the  Lord,  Whose  watchful  care, 
When  my  foes  their  plots  devise, 
Keeps  my  feet  from  every  snare. 

12.  Turn  to  me.  Thy  grace  impart; 

1  am  desolate  indeed; 
Great  the  troubles  of  my  heart; 
Save  Thou  me,  O  Lord,  I  plead. 

13.  Look  on  my  afflicted  state. 

Freely  all  my  sins  forgive; 
Mark  my  foes,  their  cruel  hate; 
Keep  my  soul  and  let  me  live. 

14.  Shame  me  not,  1  hide  in  Thee; 

Truth  and  right  preserve  me  still; 
Let,  O  God,  Thy  people  be 
Now  redeemed  from  everv  ill.

1. 

O  hear  Thou  the  voice  of  my  cry, 

Deal  kindly  and  answer  in  grace; 
My  heart  to  Thy  call  makes  reply  — 

„I  will,  o  my  Lord,  seek  Thy  face." 
But  hide  not  that  face  from  my  tears, 

Nor  put  me  in  anger  away ; 
Thou  hast  been  my  help  in  past  years. 

Nor  leave  nor  forsake  me,  1  pray ! 

2. 

When  father  and  mother  forsake, 

And  all  earthly  comforts  depart, 
Then  Thou,  Lord,  wilt  tenderly  take 

Thy  child  to  thy  pityful  heart. 
O  teach  me  Thine  own  perfect  way. 

And  lead  me  in  paths  plain  and  straight. 
For,  watchful  as  beasts  for  their  prey. 

My  foes  for  my  soul  lie  in  wait. 


3. 

1  surely  had  fainted  with  fear 

Except  1  had  trusted  in  Thee; 
Expecting  Thy  goodness  e'en  here 

In  the  land  of  the  living  to  see. 
Then  wait,  o  my  soul,  for  the  Lord! 

Be  strong  and  be  brave  in  His  might! 
Yea,  patiently  wait  for  the  Lord, 

The  Lord,  thy  salvation  and  Light.

When  evil-doers  came 
To  make  my  life  their  prey, 

They  stumbled  in  their  shame 
And  fell  in  sore  dismay; 

Though  hosts  make  war  on  every  side. 

Still  fearless  I  in  God  confide. 


Lord,  hear  me  when  I  pray. 

And  answer  me  in  grace; 
Oft  as  I  hear  Thee  say, 

Come  ye  and  seek  My  face. 
My  heart  and  lips  their  answer  speak. 
Thy  face,  Jehovah,  will  I  seek. 


3. 

My  one  request  has  been , 
And  still  this  prayer  I  raise , 

That  I  may  dwell  within 
God's  house  through  all  my  days, 

Jehovah's  beauty  to  admire  , 

And  in  His  temple  to  inquire. 


Hyde  not  Thy  face  from  me. 

In  wrath  turn  not  away, 
My  help  and  Saviour  be, 

Forsake  me  not,  I  pray, 
Should  father,  mother,  both  forsake, 
The  Lord  on  me  will  pity  take. 


4. 

When  troubles  round  me  swell. 
When  fears  and  dangers  throng, 

Securely  1  will  dwell 
In  His  pavilion  strong ; 

Within  the  covert  of  His  tent 

He  hides  me  till  t^e  storm  is  spent. 


Teach  me,  O  Lord,  Thy  way. 
Make  plain  to  me  my  path; 

Because  of  foes,  I  pray. 
Protect  me  from  their  wrath; 

To  false  accusers,  cruel  foes, 

O  Lord,  do  not  my  soul  expose. 


Uplifted  on  a  rock 

Above  my  foes  around. 
Amid  the  battle  shock 

My  song  shall  still  resound  ; 
Then  joyful  offerings  I  will  bring, 
Jehovah's  praise  my  heart  shall  sing. 


Faint-hearted  would  I  be. 
Didst  Thou  not  promise.  Lord, 

I  shall  Thy  goodness  see 
While  Thou  dost  life  accord. 

Wait  on  the  Lord,  nor  faint,  nor  fear; 

Yea,  trust  and  wait,  the  Lord  is  near.

I  will  be  j^lad,  and  joyfully 

Thy  mercy  will  record. 
For  my  affliction  Thou  hast  seen,

4.  Show  mercy,  Lord,  to  me  distressed, 

And  send  my  soul  relief ; 
My  life  is  spent  with  bitterness, 

My  strength  consumed  with  grief. 
I  mourn  and  fail  because  of  sin; 

Friends  turn  in  dread  away; 
Reproached  am  I  and  terrified, 

While  foes  conspire  to  slay.

And  in  Thy  mercy  save.

But  let  the  wicked  be  ashamed, 

And  silent  in  the  grave. 
Yea,  let  their  lips  henceforth  be  mute 

Who  words  of  falsehood  seek, 
The  lips  which  with  contempt  and  pride 

Against  the  righteous  speak.

While  I  kept  guilty  silence, 

My  strength  was  spent  with  grief; 
Thy  hand  was  heavy  on  me, 

My  soul  found  no  relief. 
But  when  I  owned  my  trespass. 

My  sin  hid  not  from  Thee, 
When  1  confessed  transgression, 

Then  Thou  forgavest  me. 


I  graciously  will  teach  thee 

The  way  that  thou  shall  go, 
And  with  Mine  eye  upon  thee 

My  counsel  make  thee  know. 
But  be  ye  not  unruly. 

Or  slow  to  understand; 
Be  not  perverse,  but  willing 

To  heed  My  wise  command. 


So  let  the  godly  seek  Thee 

In  times  when  Thou  art  near; 
No  whelming  floods  shall  reach  them, 

Nor  cause  their  hearts  to  fear. 
In  Thee,  0  Lord,  1  hide  me. 

Thou  savest  me  from  ill; 
And  songs  of  Thy  salvation 

My  heart  with  rapture  thrill. 


The  sorrows  of  the  wicked 

In  number  shall  abound, 
But  those  that  trust  Jehovah, 

His  mercy  shall  surround. 
Then  in  the  Lord  be  joyful, 

In  song  lift  up  your  voice; 
Be  glad  in  God,  ye  righteous; 

Rejoice,  ye  saints,  rejoice.

2.  For  upright  is  Jehovah's  word, 
And  all  the  doings  of  the  Lord 

In  justice  have  their  birth. 
In  judgment  and  in  deeds  of  right 
The  Lord  forever  takes  delight; 

His  goodness  fills  the  earth. 

3.  Jehovah  speaks,  the  heavens  appear; 

He  breathes,  and,  lo,  each  shining  sphere 

In  splendor  stands  arrayed. 
He  rolls  the  waters  heap  on  heap, 
He  stores  away  the  mighty  deep 

In  garners  for  it  made. 

4.  Let  all  the  earth  Jehovah  fear. 

Let  all  that  dwell  both  far  and  near 

In  awe  before  Him  stand; 
For  lo.  He  spake  and  it  was  done, 
And  all  with  sovereign  power  begun 

Stood  fast  at  His  command. 

5.  He  makes  the  nations'  counsels  vain, 
The  plans  the  peoples  would  maintain 

Are  thwarted  by  His  hand. 
Jehovah's  counsel  stands  secure, 
His  purposes  of  heart  endure. 

For  evermore  they  stand. 

6.  O  truly  is  the  nation  blest 

Whose  God  before  the  world  confessed 

Jehovah  is  alone; 
And  blest  the  people  is  whom  He 
Has  made  His  heritage  to  be, 

And  chosen  for  His  own. 

7.  Jehovah  from  his  throne  on  high 

Looks  down  with  clear  and  searching  eye 

On  all  that  dwell  below; 
And  He  that  fashioned  heart  and  mind 
Looks  ever  down  on  all  mankind. 

The  works  of  men  to  know. 

8.  Not  human  strength  or  mighty  hosts. 
Not  charging  steeds  or  warlike  boasts 

Can  save  from  overthrow; 
But  God  will  save  from  death  and  shame 
All  those  who  fear  and  trust  His  Name, 

And  they  no  want  shall  know. 

9.  Our  hope  is  on  Jehovah  stayed, 

In  Him  our  hearts  are  joyful  made. 

Our  help  and  shield  is  He. 
Our  trust  is  in  His  holy  Name; 
Thy  mercy.  Lord,  in  faith  we  claim. 

As  we  have  hoped  in  Thee.

We  looked  to  Him  and  light  received,

Our  humble  cry  Jehovah  heard, 

From  trouble  set  us  free. 
The  angel  of  the  Lord  encamps 

Around  about  His  own, 
Delivers  them  from  ail  their  foes, 

Lest  they  be  overthrown. 


Ye  children  come ,  give  ear  to  me 

And  learn  Jehovah's  fear; 
He  who  would  long  and  happy  live. 

Let  him  my  counsel  hear. 
Restrain  thy  lips  from  speaking  guile, 

From  wicked  speech  depart. 
From  evil  turn  and  do  the  good , 

Seek  peace  with  all  they  heart. 


0  taste  and  see  that  God  is  good 

To  all  that  seek  His  face; 
Yea,  blest  the  man  that  trusts  in  Him, 

Confiding  in  His  grace. 
O  fear  the  Lord ,  all  ye  His  saints: 

No  want  shall  bring  distress; 
The  lions  young  may  pine  for  food; 

The  saints  all  good  possess. 


Jehovah's  eyes  are  on  the  just. 

He  hearkens  to  their  cry; 
Against  the  wicked  sets  His  face; 

Their  very  name  shall  die. 
The  Lord  may  suffer  many  griefs 

Upon  the  just  to  fall, 
But  He  will  bring  them  safely  through, 

Delivering  them  from  all.

Ashamed,  confounded  let  them  be 

Who  seek  my  ruin  and  disgrace; 
O  let  Thine  angel  fight  for  me, 

And  drive  my  foes  before  his  face. 
Without  a  cause  my  life  they  sought. 

Without  a  cause  their  plots  they  laid; 
Themselves  within  their  snares  be  caught, 

And  be  my  crafty  foes  dismayed. 


O  Lord,  how  long  wilt  Thou  delay? 

My  soul  for  Thy  salvation  waits; 
My  thankfulness  I  will  display 

Amid  the  crowds  that  throng  Thy  gates. 
Let  not  my  enemies  rejoice 

And  wrongfully  exult  o'er  me; 
They   speak  not  peace,  but  lift  their  voice 

To  trouble  those  that  peaceful  be. 


My  soul  is  joyful  in  the  Lord , 

In  His  salvation  I  rejoice; 
To  Him  my  heart  wil  praise  accord 

And  bless  His  Name  with  thankful  voice. 
For  who,  0  Lord,  is  like  to  Thee, 

Defender  of  the  poor  and  meek? 
The  needy  Thy  salvation  see 

When  mighty  foes  their  ruin  seek. 


My  foes  with  joy  my  woes  survey. 

But  Thou,  O  Lord,  hast  seen  it  all ; 
O  be  no  longer  far  away. 

Nor  silent  when  on  Thee  1  call. 
O  haste  to  my  deliverance  now, 

O  Lord,  my  righteous  cause  maintain; 
My  Lord  and  God  alone  art  Thou; 

Awake,  and  make  Thy  justice  plain. 


Unrighteous  witnesses  have  stood 

And  told  of  crimes  beyond  belief; 
Returning  evil  for  my  good, 

They  overwhelm  my  soul  with  grief. 
When  in  affliction  they  were  sad, 

I  wept  and  made  their  grief  my  own ; 
But  in  my  trouble  they  are  glad 

And  strive  that  I  may  be  o'erthrown. 


O  Lord  my  God,  1  look  to  Thee ; 

Be  Thou  my  righteous  Judge,  1  pray ; 
Let  not  my  foes  exult  o'er  me 

And  laugh  with  joy  at  my  dismay. 
With  shame  and  trouble  those  requite 

Who  would  my  righteous  cause  destroy; 
But  those  who  in  the  good  delight. 

Let  them  be  glad  and  shout  for  joy.

The  words  he  utters  with  his  mouth 

Are  wickedness  and  lies; 
He  keeps  himself  from  doing  good. 

And  ceases  to  be  wise. 


While  on  his  bed  his  thought  he  gives 

To  planning  wickedness; 
He  sets  himself  in  evil  ways, 

He  shuns  not  to  transgress.

5.  Thy  mercy  and  Thy  truth,  O  Lord, 

Transcend  the  lofty  sky  ; 
Thy  judgments  are  a  mighty  deep , 
And  as  the  mountains  high. 

6.  Lord,  Thou  preservest  man  and  beast; 

Since  Thou  art  ever  kind  , 
Beneath  the  shadow  of  Thy  wings 
We  may  a  refuge  find. 

7.  With  the  abundance  of  Thy  house 

We  shall  be  satisfied ; 
And  from  the  streams  of  Thy  delight 
Our  thirst  shall  be  supplied. 

8.  The  fontain  of  eternal  life 

Is  found  alone  with  Thee  , 
And  in  the  brightness  of  Thy  light 
We  clearly  light  shall  see. 

9.  From  those  that  know  Thee  may  Thy  love 

And  mercy  ne'er  depart. 
And  may  Thy  justice  still  protect 
And  bless  the  upright  heart. 

10.      The  workers  of  iniquity 
Are  fallen  utterly  ; 
They  shall  not  triumph  in  their  pride  , 
Or  drive  my  soul  from  Thee.

5.  The  evil-doer  soon  shall  die  , 
But  those  that  on  the  Lord  rely 

Shall  all  the  land  obtain. 
A  little  while  and  thou  shalt  see 
That  wicked  men  cut  off  shall  be ; 

They  shall  be  sought  in  vain. 

6.  Yea,  thou  shalt  soon  consider  well 

The  place  where  they  were  wont  to  dwell, 

And  it  shall  not  be  found  ; 
But  saints  shall  all  the  land  possess. 
And  find  delight  and  happiness 

Where  fruits  of  peace  abound. 

7.  The  vile  may  plot  against  the  just 
Who  in  the  Lord  Jehovah  trust. 

But  God  will  scorn  them  all ; 
The  Lord  their  coming  day  shall  see , 
When  broken  all  their  power  shall  be. 

And  ruin  on  them  fall. 

8.  A  little  that  the  righteous  hold 
Is  better  far  than  wealth  untold 

Of  many  wicked  men ; 
Destroyed  shall  be  their  arm  of  pride, 
But  they  who  in  the  Lord  confide 

Shall  be  upholden  then. 

9.  He  knows  the  days  the  perfect  live , 
To  them  a  heritage  will  give 

Which  ever  shall  abide. 
In  evil  times  no  shame  they  know, 
And  in  the  days  of  famine's  woe 

They  shall  be  satisfied. 

10.  Although  the  wicked  prospered  seem, 
At  last  they  vanish  like  a  dream 

And  perish  in  a  day. 
Jehovah's  foes  shall  soon  appear 
Like  fields  once  fair,  now  brown  and  sere  ; 

Like  smoke  they  fade  away. 

11.  They  borrow  oft  and  pay  not  back; 
But  righteous  men  do  nothing  lack, 

And  give  with  gracious  hand. 
Those  cursed  by  Him  shall  be  destroyed ; 
But  such  as  have  His  grace  enjoyed  , 

They  shall  possess  the  land. 

12.  The  good  man's  steps  are  led  aright. 
His  way  is  pleasing  in  God's  sight; 

Established  it  shall  stand. 
He  shall  not  perish  though  he  fall ; 
The  mighty  Lord  Who  rules  o'er  all 

Upholds  him  with  His  hand. 


13.  Though  1  am  old  who  young  have  been. 
No  saint  have  I  forsaken  seen  , 

Nor  yet  his  home  in  need. 
He  ever  lends  in  gracious  ways , 
His  life  true  charity  displays , 

His  sons  are  blest  indeed. 

14.  Depart  from  evil ,  do  thou  well , 
And  evermore  securely  dwell ; 

Jehovah  loves  the  right. 
His  faithfulness  His  saints  have  proved. 
Forever  they  shall  stand  unmoved , 

But  sinners  God  will  smite. 

15.  The  righteous,  through  His  favoring  hand. 
Shall  yet  inherit  all  the  land 

And  dwell  therein  for  aye; 
He  talks  of  wisdom  and  of  right, 
In  God's  pure  law  is  his  delight , 

His  steps  go  not  astray. 

16.  The  wicked,  watching  for  their  prey. 
Desire  the  righteous  man  to  slay , 

But  God  is  on  his  side ; 
He  will  not  leave  him  in  their  hands , 
Nor  count  him  guilty  when  he  stands 

In  judgment  to  be  tried. 

17.  Wait  on  the  Lord  and  keep  His  way; 
He  will  exalt  thee,  nor  delay 

To  give  the  land  to  thee ; 
And  when  the  wicked  are  cut  off. 
The  wicked  who  against  thee  scoff. 

Their  judgment  thou  shalt  see. 

18.  The  wicked  in  great  power  are  seen  , 
Like  spreading  tree  with  foliage  green 

That  grows  in  native  ground. 
I  looked  again  ,  they  were  no  more ; 
I  sought  the  men  so  proud  before , 

But  they  could  not  be  found. 

19.  Mark  thou  the  upright  day  by  day. 
Behold  the  perfect  in  his  way: 

His  journey  ends  in  peace. 
Destroyed  at  once  shall  rebels  be ; 
Cut  off  from  all  posterity. 

Their  very  name  shall  cease. 

20.  Salvation  is  from  God  alone. 

Whom  as  their  covert  saints  have  known 

When  by  sore  troubles  tried  ; 
The  Lord  Who  helped  in  troubles  past 
Will  save  them  to  the  very  last. 
For  they  in  Him  confide.

1.     In  Thy  wrath  and   hot   dis-pleas-ure    Chas-ten    not  Thy  ser- vant,  Lord; 


Let  Thy  mer  -  cy,     with  -  out  meas-ure,  Help  and  peace  to    me    af-ford. 


m^mm^^mwm 


2. 

Heavy  is  my  tribulation, 

Sore  my  punishment  has  been;. 

Broken  by  Thine  indignation, 
I  am  troubled  by  my  sin. 

3. 

With  my  burden  of  transgression 

Heavy  laden,  overborne, 
Humbled  low  I  make  confession, 

For  my  folly  now  I  mourn. 

4. 

Weak  and  wounded,  I  implore  Thee: 
Lord,  to  me  Thy  mercy  show; 

All  my  prayer  is  now  before  Thee, 
All  my  trouble  Thou  dost  know. 


6. 

Lord,  in  Thee  am  I  confiding; 

Thou  wilt  answer  when  I  call, 
Lest  my  foes,  the  good  deriding, 

Triumph  in  Thy  servant's  fall. 


I  am  prone  to  halt  and  stumble; 

Grief  and  sorrow  dwell  within; 
Shame  and  guilt  my  spirit  humble; 

I  am  sorry  for  my  sin. 


Foes  about  my  soul  are  closing, 
Full  of  hatred,  false  and  strong; 

Choosing  good,  I  find  opposing 
All  who  love  and  do  the  wrong. 


Darkness  gathers,  foes  assail  me, 
But  1  answer  not  a  word; 

All  my  friends  desert  and  fail  me; 
Only  Thou  my  cry  hast  heard. 


Lord,  my  God,  do  not  forsake  me: 
Let  me  know  that  Thou  art  near; 

Under  Thy  protection  take  me; 
As  my  Saviour  now  appear.

Make  me,  0  Lord,  to  know  my  end, 
Teach  me  the  measure  of  my  days, 

That  I  may  know  how  frail  I  am 
And  turn  from  pride  and  sinful  ways. 

My  time  is  nothing  in  Thy  sight; 

Behold,  my  days  are  but  a  span; 
Yea,  truly  at  his  best  estate, 

A  breath,  a  fleeting  breath,  is  man. 

Man's  life  is  passed  in  vain  desire 
If  troubled  years  be  spent  for  gain; 

He  knows  not  whose  his  wealth  shall  be, 
And  all  his  toil  is  but  in  vain. 

And  now,  O  Lord,  what  wait  1  for? 

I  have  no  hope  except  in  Thee. 
Let  not  ungodly  men  reproach. 

From  all  transgression  set  me  free. 


7.  Because  Thou  didst  it  I  was  dumb, 

I  spoke  no  word  of  rash  complaint; 
Remove  Thy  stroke  away  from  me. 
Beneath  Thy  chastisement  1  faint. 

8.  When  Thou  for  his  iniquity 

Rebukest  and  correctest  man, 
His  beauty  is  consumed  away; 
How  weak  his  strength,  how  vain  his  plan. 

9.  Lord,  hear  my  prayer,  regard  my  cry; 

I  weep,  be  Thou  my  comforter; 
I  am  a  stranger  here  below, 
A  pilgrim  as  my  fathers  were. 

10.  O  spare  me.  Lord,  avert  Thy  wrath, 

Deal  gently  with  me,  1  implore: 
That  I  may  yet  recover  strength 
E'er  1  go  hence  and  be  no  more.

2. 

A  new  and  joyful  song  of  praise 

My  thankful  heart  He  taught, 
A  song  of  glory  to  our  God 

For  all  that  He  has  wrought. 
And  many  who  behold  how  good 

The  Lord  has  been  to  me 
Shall  learn  to  fear,  and  in  His  Name 

Their  trust  henceforth  shall  be. 


5. 

Then,  O  my  God,  I  come,  I  come. 

Thy  purpose  to  fulfil ; 
Thy  law  is  written  in  my  heart, 

'Tis  joy  to  do  Thy  will. 
Before  Thy  people  1  will  now 

Thy  righteousness  proclaim; 
Thou  knowest,  Lord,  1  will  not  cease 

To  praise  Thy  holy  Name. 


O  truly  blessed  is  the  man 

That  on  the  Lord  relies, 
Respecting  not  the  proud,  nor  such 

As  turn  aside  to  lies. 
O  Lord  my  God,  how  manifold 

The  works  which  Thou  hast  wrought; 
Ofttimes  Thou  hast  bestowed  on  us 

Thy  care  and  gracious  thought. 


I  never  have  within  my  heart 

Thy  faithfulness  concealed, 
But  Thy  salvation  and  Thy  truth 

To  men  I  have  revealed. 
Thy  tender  mercies,  0  my  Lord, 

Withhold  not,  I  implore; 
But  let  Thy  kindness  and  Thy  truth 

Preserve  me  evermore. 


Thy  works  and  thoughts  most  wonderful, 

If  1  of  them  would  speak, 
Cannot  be  numbered,  and  in  vain 

To  set  them  forth  1  seek. 
The  offering  on  the  altar  burned 

Gives  no  delight  to  Thee  ; 
The  hearing  ear,  the  willing  heart. 

Thou  givest  unto  me. 


For  countless  ills  have  compassed  me; 

My  sinful  deeds  arise; 
Yea ,  they  have  overtaken  me ; 

I  dare  not  raise  my  eyes. 
My  sins  are  more  than  I  can  count 

My  heart  has  failed  for  grief. 
Be  pleased,  O  Lord,  to  rescue  me; 

O  haste  to  my  relief. 


Be  those  who  seek  to  hurt  my  soul 

Dismayed  and  put  to  flight; 
And  they  themselves  be  put  to  shame 

Who  in  my  woe  delight. 
Let  all  who  seek  Thee  now  rejoice. 

Yea,  glad  in  Thee  abide, 
And,  loving  Thy  salvation,  say. 

The  Lord  be  magnified.

Upon  the  bed  of  suffering 

Jehovah  will  sustain, 
And  in  his  sickness  God  will  soothe 

The  weariness  and  pain. 

O  Lord,  to  Thee  my  cry  ascends, 

Let  me  Thy  mercy  see; 
Heat  Thou  my  soul,  for  1  have  sinned 

I  have  offended  Thee. 

My  enemies  against  me  speak, 
And  they  my  life  have  scorned; 

They  wish  my  name  to  pass  away, 
Unhonored  and  unmourned. 

My  foe,  deceitful,  visits  me. 

By  seeming  kindness  led. 
His  heart  intent  on  gathering 

Some  hurtful  news  to  spread. 

My  foes,  together  whispering. 

Their  evil  plans  devise; 
Disease,  they  say,  cleaves  fast  to  hi.n; 

Laid  low.  he  shall  not  rise. 


8.  Yea,  he  who  was  my  chosen  friend. 

In  whom  I  put  my  trust, 
Who  ate  my  bread,  now  turns  in  wrath 
To  crush  me  in  the  dust. 

9.  Do  Thou,  Jehovah,  show  me  grace, 

And  raise  me  up  again. 
That  I  with  justice  may  requite 
These  base  and  wicked  men. 

10.  By  this  I  know  assuredly 

That  I  am  loved  by  Thee, 
Because  my  foe  does  not  e.\ult 
In  triumph  over  me. 

11.  And  as  for  me,  in  uprightness 

Thou  dost  uphold  me  well, 
And  settest  me  before  Thy  face 
For  evermore  to  dwell. 

12.  Blest  be  Jehovah,  Israel's  God 

For  evermore.    Amen. 
Let  age  to  age  eternally 
Repeat  His  praise.    Amen.

If  fond    memory    seek   to    bor  -  row    Com -fort  from      the      for-mer  years,

Why  art  thou  cast  down  and  fearful? 

O  my  soul,  why  so  dismayed? 
Hope  in  God ,  and  eyes  now  tearful 

Yet  shall  see  His  present  aid. 

Down,  o  God,  my  heart  is  cast, 

Till  recalling  mercies  passed; 
Then  to  Thee,  my  spirit  weary 
Turns  as  from  a  desert  dreary. 

As  Thy  water-falls  resounding, 
Deep  is  calling  unto  deep: 

Over  me.  Thine  all-surrounding 
Waves  and  billows  wildly  sweep: 
Yet  the  Lord  will  bless  my  days , 
I,  His  iovingkindness  praise; 

And  His  song,  at  midnight  given. 

Be  my  prayer  to  God  in  heaven. 


Why,  oh  why  doest  Thou  forget  me? 
1  will  say  to  God,  my  Rock: 

Foes  oppress  and  sore  beset  me; 
With  reproaches  keen  they  mock: 
Where's  thy  God,  they  taunting  say. 
While  I  mourn  both  night  and  day, 

Why,  oh  why,  my  God,  forget  me, 

When  my  cruel  foes  beset  me? 

Why  disquieted  within  me! 

Why  art  Thou,  my  soul,  cast  down! 
Hope  in  God,  1  yet  shall  praise  Him, 

Who  with  joy  my  life  will  crown.  . 

He,  my  God,  whose  wondrous  grace. 

Is  the  help  that  cheers  my  face. 
Comforts  me,  when  tears  are  blinding. 
As  the  hart  cool  waters  finding.

No  trust  will  I  place  in  my  strength  to  defend  , 
Nor  yet  on  my  sword  as  a  safeguard  depend ; 
In  Thee ,  Who  hast  saved  us  and  put  them  to  shame , 
We  boast  all  the  day,   ever  praising  Thy  Name. 

But  Thou  hast  forsaken,  to  shame  brought  our  boasts; 
No  more  to  the  field  dost  Thou  go  with  our  hosts : 
Thou  turnest  us  back  from  the  foe  in  dismay  , 
And  spoilers  who  hate  us  have  made  us  their  prey. 


81 

6.  Like  sheep  to  the  slaughter,  Thy  people  are  given ; 
Dispersed  through  the  nations  afar  we  are  driven; 
Thou  seiiest  Thy  people  to  strangers  for  naught, 
Their  price  to  Thy  treasure  no  increase  has  brought. 

7.  Thou  makest  our  neighbors  reproach  us  in  pride, 
And  those  that  are  near  us  to  scoff  and  deride; 

A  by-word  the  nations  have  made  of  our  name, 
With  scorn  and  derision  they  put  us  to  shame. 

8.  Yea,  all  the  day  long  1  behold  my  disgrace. 
And  covered  am  I  with  confusion  of  face; 
The  voice  of  blasphemers  and  scoffers  I  hear, 
The  foe  and  avenger  against  me  appear. 

9.  All  this  have  we  suffered,  and  never  forgot 

To  serve  Thee,  Jehovah,  nor  falsely  have  wrought; 
Our  heart  is  not  turned  and  our  steps  have  not  strayed, 
Though  crushed  amid  ruins  and  under  death's  shade. 

10.  If  we  have  forgotten  the  Name  of  our  God, 
Or  unto  an  idol  our  hands  spread  abroad, 
Shall  not  the  Almighty  uncover  this  sin? 

He  knows  all  our  hearts  and  the  secrets  within. 

11.  We  all  the  day  long  for  Thy  sake  are  consumed; 
Defeated  and  helpless,  to  death  we  are  doomed; 
Then  why  dost  Thou  tarry?  Jehovah,  awake. 
Nor  spurn  us  forever;  arise  for  our  sake. 

12.  O  why  art  Thou  hiding  the  light  of  Thy  face, 
Forgetting  our  burden  of  grief  and  disgrace? 

Our  soul  is  bowed  down,  yea,  we  cleave  to  the  dust; 
Rise,  help,  and  redeem  us;  Thy  mercy  we  trust.

Now  gird  Thee  with  Thy  sword  , 

O  strong  and  mighty  One, 
In  splendid  majesty  arrayed, 

More  glorious  than  the  sun.

For  meekness,  truth,  and  right; 
Thine  arm  shall  gain  the  victory 

In  wondrous  deeds  of  might.

Kings'  daughters  waiting  stand; 
And  fairest  gems  bedeck  Thy  bride,

And  to  my  words  attend; 
For  Christ  the  King  forsake  the  world 

And  every  former  friend.

Thy  strength  shall  overcome 

All  those  that  hate  the  King, 
And  under  Thy  dominion  strong

Thy  royal  throne,  o  God, 

Forevermore  shall  stand  ; 
Eternal  truth  and  justice  wield 

The  sceptre  in  Thy  hand. 


Thy  beauty  and  thy  grace 

Shall  then  delight  the  King; 
He  only  is  thy  rightful  Lord, 

To  Him  thy  worship  bring. 
To  thee,  since  thou  art  His, 

Great  honor  shall  be  shown: 
The  rich  shall  bring  their  gifts  to  thee, 

Thy  glory  they  shall  own. 


4. 

Since  Thou  art  sinless  found, 

The  Lord,  Thy  God  confessed, 
Anointeth  Thee  with  perfect  joy; 

Thou  art  supremely  blest. 
Thy  garments  breathe  of  myrrh 

And  spices  sweet  and  rare; 
Glad  strains  of  heavenly  music  rin| 

Throughout  Thy  palace  fair. 


Enthroned  in  royal  state, 

All  glorious  thou  shalt  dwell, 
With  garments  fair,  inwrought  with  gold,  — 

The  Church  He  loveth  well. 
And  they  that  honor  thee 

Shall  in  thy  train  attend, 
And  to  the  palace  of  the  King, 

Shall  joyfully  ascend. 


8. 

O  King  of  royal  race, 

Thy  sons  of  heavenly  birth 
Thou  wilt  endow  with  kingly  gifts 

As  princes  in  the  earth. 
Thy  Name  shall  be  proclaimed 

Through  all  succeeding  days , 
And  all  the  nations  of  the  earth 

Shall  give  Thee  endless  praise.

Thy  hand  is  full  of  righteousness: 
Let  Zion's  gladness  then  be  great. 

And  let  her  daughters  sing  for  joy 
And  all  Thy  judgments  celebrate. 


With  our  own  eyes  we  have  beheld 
What  oft  our  fathers  told  before. 

That  God  Who  in  His  Zion  dwells 
Wil  keep  her  safely  evermore. 


Encompass  Zion,  count  her  towers, 
And  mark  her  strong  defenses  well; 

Consider  all  her  palaces. 
And  to  your  sons  her  glory  tell. 


Within  Thy  temple's  sacred  courts, 
With  loving  and  adoring  thought, 

We  contemplate  Thy  grace,  O  God, 
And  all  Thy  deeds  with  mercy  fraught. 


This  mighty  God  forever  lives 
Our  God  and  Saviour  to  abide; 

And  till  our  pilgrim  days  shall  end 
Will  ever  be  our  faithful  guide.

3.  Why  should  1  to  fear  give  way 
When  I  see  the  evil  day  , 
When  with  wickedness  my  foes 
Shall  surround  me  and  oppose  ?

None  can  bid  his  brother  live, 
None  to  God  a  ransom  give.

5.  If  from  death  one  would  be  free  . 
And  corruption  never  see  , 
Costly  is  life's  ransom  price  , 

Far  beyond  all  sacrifice. 

6.  Dust  to  dust,  the  mortal  dies, 
Both  the  foolish  and  the  wise ; 
None  forever  can  remain  ; 

Each  must  leave  his  hoarded  gain. 

7.  Yet  within  their  heart  they  say 
That  their  houses  are  for  aye  , 
That  their  dwelling-places  grand 
Shall  for  generations  stand. 

8.  To  their  lands  they  give  their  name 
In  the  hope  of  lasting  fame  ; 

But  man's  honor  quickly  flies. 
Like  the  lowly  beast  he  dies. 

9.  Though  such  folly  mark  their  way  , 
Men  approve  of  what  they  say  ; 
Death  their  shepherd ,  they  the  sheep 
He  within  his  fold  will  keep. 

10.  O'er  them  soon  shall  rule   the  just, 
All  their  beauty  turn  to  dust; 

God  my  waiting  soul  shall  save , 
He  will  raise  me  from  the  grave. 

11.  Let  no  fear  disturb  your  peace 
Though  one's  house  and  wealth  increase 
Death  shall  end  his  fleeting  day , 

He  shall  carry  naught  away. 

12.  Though  in  life  he  wealth  attained. 
Though  the  praise  of  men  he  gained  , 
He  shall  join  those  gone  before , 
Where  the  light  shall  shine  no  more. 

13.  Crowned  with  honor  though  he  be, 
Highly  gifted  ,  strong  and  free  , 

If  he  be  not  truly  wise  , 

Man  is  like  the  beast  that  dies.

2. 

He  calls  aloud  to  heaven  and  earth 
That  He  may  justly  judge  His  own; 

My  chosen  saints  together  bring 
Who  sacrifice  to  Me  alone. 

The  heavens  His  righteousness  declare, 

For  God  Himself  as  judge  is  there. 


Bring  thou  to  God  the  gift  of  thanks, 
And  pay  thy  vows  to  God  Most  High: 

Call  ye  upon  My  holy  Name 
In  days  when  sore  distress  is  nigh; 

Deliverance  I  will  send  to  thee, 

And  praises  thou  shalt  give  to  Me. 


Hear,  O  my  people,  I  will  speak; 

Against  thee  I  will  testify; 
Give  ear  to  Me,  O  Israel, 

For  God,  thy  covenant  God,  am  I. 
I  do  not  spurn  thy  sacrifice; 
Thine  offerings  are  before  Mine  eyes. 


7. 

Thus  speaks  the  Lord  to  wicked  men: 
My  statutes  why  do  ye  declare? 

Why  take  My  covenant  in  your  mouth, 
Since  ye  for  wisdom  do  not  care? 

For  ye  My  holy  words  profane 

And  cast  them  from  you  in  disdain. 


4. 

I  will  receive  from  out  thy  fold 
No  offering  for  My  holy  shrine; 

The  cattle  on  a  thousand  hills 
And  all  the  forest  beasts  are  Mine; 

Each  mountain  bird  to  Me  is  known. 

Whatever  roams  the  field  1  own. 


Ye  have  consented  with  the  thief. 
Ye  have  partaken  with  the  vile, 

Your  mouths  to  evil  words  ye  give. 
Your  tongues  proclaim  deceit  and  guile, 

Ye  glory  in  your  brother's  shame. 

Your  mother's  son  do  ye  defame. 


Behold ,  if  1  should  hungry  grow, 
I  would  not  tell  My  need  to  thee, 

For  all  the  world  itself  is  Mine, 
And  all  its  wealth  belongs  to  Me. 

Why  should  I  aught  of  thee  receive, 

My  thirst  or  hunger  to  relieve? 


Thus  have  ye  done;  I  silence  kept, 
And  this  has  been  your  secret  thought. 

That  I  was  wholly  as  yourselves, 
To  take  your  evil  deeds  as  nought; 

I  will  reprove  you  and  array 

Your  deeds  before  your  eyes  this  day. 


10. 

Consider  this,  who  God  forget. 
Lest  I  destroy  with  none  to  free. 

Who  offers  sacrifice  of  thanks, 
He  glorifies  and  honors  Me. 

To  him  who  orders  well  his  way 

Salvation  free  I  will  display.

Grief  and  guilt  my  soul  oppress; 
I  have  sinned  against  Thy  grace 
And  provoked  Thee  to  Thy  face; 
I  confess  Thy  judgment  just; 
Speechless,  I  Thy  mercy  trust. 

3.  I  am  ^vil,  born  in  sin; 
Thou  desirest  truth  within. 
Thou  alone  my  Saviour  art; 
Teach  Thy  wisdom  to  my  heart. 
Make  me  pure.  Thy  grace  bestow, 
Wash  me  whiter  than  the  snow. 

4.  Broken,  humbled  to  the  dust 

By  Thy  wrath  and  judgment  just, 
Let  my  contrite  heart  rejoice 
And  in  gladness  hear  Thy  voice. 
From  my  sins  O  hide  Thy  face; 
Blot  them  out  in  boundless  grace. 

5.  Gracious  God,  my  heart  renew, 
Make  my  spirit  right  and  true; 
Cast  me  not  away  from  Thee, 
Let  Thy  Spirit  dwell  in  me; 
Thy  salvation's  joy  impart, 
Steadfast  make  my  willing  heart. 

6.  Sinners  then  shall  learn  from  me 
And  return,  O  God,  to  Thee. 
Saviour,  all  my  guilt  remove, 

And  my  tongue  shall  sing  Thy  love; 
Touch  my  silent  lips,  O  Lord, 
And  my  mouth  shall  praise  accord. 

7.  Not  the  formal  sacrifice 

Hath  acceptance  in  Thine  eyes; 
Broken  hearts  are  in  Thy  sight 
More  than  sacrificial  rite; 
Contrite  spirit,  pleading  cries. 
Thou,  O  God,  wilt  not  despise. 

8.  Prosper  Zion  in  Thy  grace 
And  her  broken  walls  replace; 
Then  our  righteous  sacrifice 
Shall  delight  Thy  holy  eyes; 
Free-will  offerings,  gladly  made. 
On  Thine  altar  shall  be  laid.

And  break  their  plighted  troth  , 
Who  hide  their  hate  with  honeyed  speech, 
With  such  the  Lord  is  wroth. 

13.  Upon  the  Lord  thy  burden  cast. 

To  Him  bring  all  thy  care ; 
He  will  sustain  and  hold  thee  fast. 
And  give  thee  strength  to  bear.

What  time  1  am  afraid 

I  put  my  trust  in  Thee ; 
In  God  I  rest ,  and  praise 

His  word  ,  so  rich  and  free. 
In  God  I  put  my  trust , 

I  neither  doubt  nor  fear, 
For  man  can  never  harm 

With  God  my  helper  near. 

All  day  they  wrest  my  words , 

Their  thoughts  are  full  of  hate  ; 
They  meet,  they  lurk,  they  watch, 

As  for  my  soul  they  wait. 
Shall  they  by  wickedness 

Escape  Thy  judgment  right? 
O  God  of  righteousness  , 

Destroy  them  in  Thy  might. 

Thou  knowest  all  my  woes ; 

0  treasure  Thou  my  tears; 
Are  they  not  in  Thy  book  , 

Where  all  my  life  appears  ? 
My  foes  shall  backward  turn 

When  I  appeal  to  Thee  , 
For  this  I  surely  know. 

That  God  is  still  for  me. 

In  God  ,  the  Lord ,  I  rest , 
His  word  of  grace  I  praise , 

His  promise  stands  secure  , 
Nor  fear  nor  foe  dismays. 

In  God  I  put  my  trust , 

1  neither  doubt  nor  fear, 
For  man  can  never  harm 

With  God  my  helper  near. 

Upon  me  are  Thy  vows  , 

O  God  ,  in  Whom  I  live  ; 
The  sacrifice  of  praise 

To  Thee  I  now  will  give. 
For  Thou  hast  saved  from  death  , 

From  falling  kept  me  free , 
That  in  the  light  of  life 

My  walk  may  be  with  Thee.

Yea,  1  will  early  wake  and  sing,

For  unto  heaven  Thy  mercies  rise. 
Thy  truth  is  lofty  as  the  skies. 


Be  Thou  ,  O  God  ,  exalted  high  ,

Behold  their  wickedness,  O  Lord; 

To  help  me,  O  awake; 
Lord  God  of  Hosts,  Thou,  Israel's  God, 

Arise,  and  vengeance  take. 
My  enemies  with  deadly  rage 

Renew  their  fierce  attack; 
They  think  the  Lord  will  not  regard, 

But  Thou  wilt  turn  them  back. 

O  God,  my  strength,  on  Thee  I  wait. 

To  Thee  for  refuge  flee; 
My  God  with  mercy  will  defend. 

Triumphant  I  shall  be. 
O  God,  our  shield,  let  wickedness 

And  pride  be  put  to  shame, 
Till  all  shall  know  that  Thou  dost  rule 

And  all  shall  fear  Thy  Name. 

Let  wickedness  that  raged  in  power 

Now  rage  in  impotence  ; 
But  I  will  glory  in  Thy  strength, 

My  refuge  and  defense. 
When  all  the  night  of  woe  is  past 

And  morning  dawns  at  length, 
Then  I  shall  praise  Thy  grace,  O  God, 

My  refuge  and  my  strength. 


To  Thee,  O  God  most  merciful. 

My  thankful  song  I  raise; 
My  might,  my  strong,  secure  abode, 

I  will  proclaim  Thy  praise.

Though  ways  of  trial  and  distress 

Thy  people  Thou  hast  led; 
A  bitter  cup  Thou  givest  us 

Of  misery  and  dread. 
A  glorious  banner  Thou  hast  given 

To  those  who  fear  Thy  Name. 
A  banner  to  display  abroad , 

And  thus  the  truth  proclaim. 

That  Thy  beloved  may  be  saved 

And  from  their  foes  set  free, 
Help  with  the  might  of  Thy  right  hand 

In  mercy  answer  me. 
God  in  His  holiness  hath  said: 

1  will  triumphant  be; 
All  heathen  lands  1  claim  as  Mine, 

And  they  shall  bow  to  Me. 


Now,  therefore,  who  will  lead  us  on 

Sin's  strongholds  to  possess? 
No  longer  cast  us  off,  0  God, 

But  give  our  hosts  success. 
Give  Thou  Thy  help  against  the  foe. 

For  help  of  man  is  vain; 
Through  God  we  shall  do  valiantly. 

The  victory  He  shall  gain.

2.  How  blest  the  man  Thou  callest 

And  bringest  near  to  Thee, 
That  in  Thy  courts  forever 

His  dwelling-place  may  be. 
He  shall  within  Thy  temple 

Be  satisfied  with  grace , 
And  filled  with  all  the  goodness 

Of  Thy  most  holy  place. 

3.  O  God  of  our  salvation  , 

Since  Thou  dost  love  the  right, 
Thou  wilt  an  answer  send  us 

In  wondrous  deeds  of  might. 
In  all  earth's  habitations, 

On  all  the  boundless  sea, 
Man  finds  no  sure  reliance  , 

No  peace  ,  apart  from  Thee. 

4.  Thy  might  sets  fast  the  mountains ; 

Strength  girds  Thee  evermore 
To  calm  the  raging  peoples 

And  still  the  ocean's  roar. 
Thy  majesty  and  greatness 

Are  through  all  lands  confessed , 
And  joy  on  earth  Thou  sendest 

Afar ,  from  east  to  west. 

5.  To  bless  the  earth  Thou  sendest 

From  Thy  abundant  store 
The  waters  of  the  spring-time, 

Enriching  it  once  more. 
The  seed  by  Thee  provided 

Is  sown  o'er  hill  and  plain  , 
And  Thou  with  gentle  showers 

Dost  bless  the  springing  grain. 

6.  The  year  with  good  Thou  crownest. 

The  earth  Thy  mercy  fills. 
The  wilderness  is  fruitful , 

And  joyful    are  the  hills. 
With  corn  the  vales  are  covered , 

The  flocks  in  pastures  graze  ; 
All  nature  joins  in  singing 

A  joyful  song  of  praise.

Yea,  all  the  earth  shall  worship  Thee,

With  loud  hosannas  ring. 
O  come,  behold  the  works  of  God,

In  dealing  with  the  sons  of  men 

Most  wonderful  is  He.     (bis) 


Through  pain  and  trouble  Thou  hast  led, 

And  humbled  all  our  pride; 
But,  in  the  end,  to  liberty 

And  wealth  Thy  hand  did  guide. 
Here  in  Thy  house  I  give  to  Thee

Let  not  the  proud  rebellious  ones

Come,  ye  that  fear  the  Lord,  and  hear 

What  He  has  done  for  me; 
My  cry  for  help  is  turned  to  praise. 

For  He  has  set  me  free. 
If  in  my  heart  I  sin  regard, 

My  prayer  He  will  not  hear; 
But  truly  God  has  heard  my  voice. 

My  prayer  has  reached  His  ear.    (bis) 


O  all  ye  peoples,  bless  our  God, 

Aloud  proclaim  His  praise , 
Who  safely  holds  our  soul  in  life. 

And  steadfast  makes  our  ways. 
Thou,  Lord,  hast  proved  and  tested  us 

As  silver  tried  by  fire ; 
Thy  hand  has  made  our  burden  great 

And  thwarted  our  desire,    (bis) 


O  let  the  Lord,  our  gracious  God, 

Forever  blessed  be. 
Who  has  not  turned  my  prayer  from  Him, 

Nor  yet  His  grace  from  me. 
O  let  the  Lord,  our  gracious  God,

Lord,  all  the  earth  shall  bow  before  Thee, 

And  praises  to  Thy  Name  shall  bring; 
Yea,  with  Thy  mighty  works  and  wonders 

Make  all  the  gates  of  Zion  ring ! 
Come  and  behold  with  admiration 

What  God  hath  wrought,  His  doings  see; 
In  dealing  with  our  race  and  kindred, 

A  Qod  most  terrible  is  He ! 

He  checked  the  sea's  tempestuous  foaming, 

He  stilled  the  angry  billows  roar. 
As  on  dry  land  His  people  passing, 

Rejoiced  to  see  their  perils  o'er. 
Almighty  God,  He  rules  forever; 

His  piercing  eyes  the  nations  try; 
No  proud  rebellious  one  shall  ever 

Prevail  against  our  God  most  High! 

Bless,  bless  our  God,  o  all  ye  peoples! 

Proclaim  His  praises  far  and  wide; 
Our  soul  in  life  He  safely  keepeth. 

And  suffereth  not  our  feet  to  slide. 
Thou,  o  our  God,  hast  proved  us  often; 

Yea,  Thou  hast  tried  us  o'er  and  o'er 
As  silver;  in  the  net  hast  brought  us, 

And  laid  on  us  a  burden  sore. 

Oft  o'er  our  heads  our  foes  were  riding; 

Through  fire  and  water  we  have  passed 
But  Thou  into  a  place  of  plenty 

Hast  brought  Thy  people  home  at  last. 
My  vows  I'll  pay,  as  1  have  spoken. 

Burnt-offering  to  Thee  I'll  bring, 
Which  in  distress  my  lips  have  promised; 

And  ever  of  Thy  mercy  sing. 

Burnt-offerings  of  the  best  of  cattle 

I  gladly  to  Thy  courts  will  bring; 
The  choicest  incense  of  Thine  altars 

I'll  make  to  Thee  an  offering. 
Come,  hear  all  ye  that  fear  Jehovah, 

What  He  has  done  unto  my  soul: 
He  heard  my  cry  to  Him  in  trouble. 

And  so  my  tongue  did  Him  extol. 

If  in  my  heart  I  sin  do  cherish. 

The  Lord  will  hide  from  me  His  face; 
But  to  my  prayer  my  God  attended, 

And  satisfied  me  with  His  grace. 
O  blessed  be  the  Lord,  our  Helper, 

Who  hath  not  turned  my  prayer  away; 
Who  hath  not  turned  from  me  His  mercy: 

0  blessed  be  the  Lord  for  aye!

smooth  and  wide,  For  Him  who  doth  through  des-erts  ride!  The  God  of  our  sal-va-tion. 


A  father  of  the  fatherless, 

A  judge  of  widows  in  distress 

Is  God,  where  He  abideth. 
To  those  in  solitude  who  live, 
He  doth  a  happy  household  give, 

In  homes  that  He  provideth. 
The  captives  He  from  prison  doth  bring. 
And  prosper  them,  that  they  may  sing 

Of  Him  and  His  salvation. 
But  they,  who  wickedly  rebel, 
He  causeth  in  His  wrath  to  dwell 

In  lands  of  desolation. 

When  Thou.  0  God,  didst  lead  the  way. 
Before  Thy  people  day  by  day, 

In  pathless  wilds  assembled. 
Earth  shook  with  fear;  the  heavens  were  bowed 
Before  Thy  presence  in  the  cloud; 

The  base  of  Sinai  trembled. 
Thou ;  God,  didst  send  a  plenteous  rain, 
To  cheer  Thy  weary  parched  domain, 

With  blessing  overflowing. 
Thy  people  dwelt  therein  and  shared 
Thy  goodness  for  Thy  poor  prepared. 

The  gifts  of  Thy  bestowing. 

The  Lord  Himself  gave  forth  the  word; 
From  hosts  of  women  was  it  heard 

How  He  to  victory  guided: 
And  they  who  tarried,  when  in  dread 
Defeated  kings  of  armies  fled, 

At  home  the  spoils  divided. 
When  ye  among  the  sheepfolds  rest. 
No  longer  by  your  foes  distressed, 

There  shall  to  you  be  given 
The  beauty  of  a  dove,  arrayed 
In  silver-white,  with  wings  o'erlaid 

With  golden  rays  from  heaven. 

When  God  smote  kings  that  here  had  been, 
it  was  as  when  the  snow  was  seen 

In  Zalmon's  dark  recesses. 
O  mighty  Bashan,  though  so  high. 
Why  look  askance  with  envious  eye 

On  Zion  that  He  blesses! 
Of  all  the  mountains  far  and  near. 
Mount  Zion  is  to  God  most  dear. 

All  other  hills  excelling. 
In  this  the  Lord  delight  doth  take, 
And  this  He  hath  desired  to  make 

Forevermore  His  dwelling. 


God's  chariots,  on  His  peoples'  side 
Are  myriads,  myriads  multiplied, 

With  Him  among  them  dwelling, 
As  once  He  dwelt  with  veiled  face 
In  Sinai  as  His  holy  place, 

in  glory  all  excelling. 
Thou  hast  ascended  gloriously. 
And  captive  led  captivity; 

Thine  arm  hath  brought  salvation. 
They  come  with  gifts  who  did  rebel. 
That  God  The  Lord  with  them  may  dwell 

And  be  their  consolation. 

Blest  be  the  Lord,  for  us  He  cares 
And  day  by  day  our  burden  bears. 

The  God  of  our  salvation. 
God  is  to  us  a  God  of  love. 
Who  sends  deliverance  from  above 

From  death  and  desolation. 
But  those  who  will  in  sin  delight, 
He  will  with  swift  destruction  smite. 

And  make  His  saints  victorious; 
Yea,  them  I'll  bring  —  He  saith  to  me  — 
From  lands  remote,  from  depths  of  sea, 

And  make  thy  triumph  glorious. 

My  God,  my  King,  Thou  God  of  grace. 
They  saw  Thine  entrance  to  Thy  place 

Of  holy  habitation. 
The  singers  led  ,  and  then  a  throng 
Of  minstrel  maidens  came  with  song 

And  timbrels'  jubilation. 
O  bless  ye  God  ,  your  praises  bring , 
Amid  the  congregation  sing, 

Jehovah's  praises  voicing. 
The  praises  of  the  Lord  recount. 
All  ye  that  spring  from  Israel's  fount. 

Always  in  God  rejoicing. 

Oh  sing,  ye  kingdoms,  far  and  wide 
To  Him  that  on  the  heavens  doth  ride. 

And  speaketh  as  with  thunder. 
Ascribe  ye  power  to  God  ,  whose  might 
The  heavens  reveal  by  day  and  night 

In  every  flaming  wonder. 
Though  fearful  in  His  holy  place, 
With  'joy  the  saints  behold  His  grace 

And  glory  all  transcending. 
Oh  God,  Thy  peoples' strength  confessed. 
Thou  givest  power.   Let  God  be  blessed 

To  ages  never  ending.

God  frees  the  captive  and  He  sends 

The  blessedness  of  home  and  friends. 

And  only  those  in  darkness  stay 

Who  will  not  trust  Him  and  obey. 


7. 


Blest  be  the  Lord !    For  us  He  cares 
And  daily  all  our  burden  bears; 
Our  God  is  mighty,  strong  to  save ; 
Jehovah  frees  us  from  the  grave. 
God's  unrelenting  enemies 
-No  peace  shall  find  in  earth  or  seas; 
His  people  shall  triumphant  go 
Victorious  over  every  foe. 


3. 


God  saved  His  people  from  distress 
And  led  them  through  the  wilderness; 
Then  mountains  trembled  in  their  place , 
The  heavens  were  bowed  before  His  face. 
With  copious  showers  Thou  didst  assuage 
The  thirsting  of  Thy  heritage  ; 
Thy  congregation  dwelt  secure ; 
Thou,  God,  art  gracious  to  the  poor. 


With  glorious  pomp  our  King  and  God 

Has  entered  into  His  abode 

With  sacred  minstrelsy  and  song, 

While  maidens  with  their  timbrels  throng. 

Assemble  ye  before  His  face. 

All  ye  that  spring  from  Israel's  race; 

Ye  chosen  tribes ,  with  one  accord 

Come  ye,  and  bless  your  God,  the  Lord. 


4. 

The  Lord  sent  forth  His  mighty  word , 

And  shouts  of  victory  were  heard ; 

The  women  came ,  a  mighty  throng , 

To  join  the  glad  triumphant  song. 

When  God  His  chosen  people  led, 

The  kings  and  armies  turned  and  fled; 

The  hosts  of  God  victorious  fought, 

And  home  their  spoils  and  trophies  brought. 


O  Zion ,  'tis  thy  God's  command 
That  thou  in  strength  securely  stand ; 
O  God,  confirm  and  strengthen  still, 
Thy  purposes  in  us  fulfil. 
O  Thou ,  Whose  glorious  temple  stands 
In  Zion,  famed  through  heathen  lands,— 
Kings  shall  Thy  power  and  glory  see , 
And  bring  their  presents  unto  Thee. 


5. 


God's  people  rested,  free  from  care, 
In  glorious  peace  and  beauty  fair; 
Their  mighty  King  did  overthrow 
The  hostile  kings  like  driven  snow. 
All  mountains  unto  God  belong, 
But  Zion's  holy  mountains  strong 
Above  them  all  the  Lord  loves  well. 
And  there  He  will  forever  dwell. 


10. 

Thou  wilt  rebuke  the  fierce  and  strong 

Who  hate  the  right  and  choose  the  wrong. 

And  scatter  those  who  peace  abhor, 

The  nations  that  delight  in  war. 

The  heathen  princes  yet  shall  flee 

From  idols  and  return  to  Thee; 

Earth's  sinful  and  benighted  lands 

To  God  shall  soon  stretch  out  their  hands. 


Great  hosts  to  holy  wars  have  trod. 

The  armies  of  the  living  God; 

Among  them  He  reveals  His  face, 

The  God  of  justice  and  of  grace. 

Thou  hast  ascended  up  on  high 

And  captive  led  captivity; 

They  come  with  gifts,,  who  did  rebel. 

That  with  them  God  the  Lord  might  dwell. 


n. 


Praise  God  and  sing  His  matchless  worth; 
Ye  kings  and  kingdoms  of  the  earth; 
He  dwells  within  the  heavenly  height, 
And  utters  forth  His  voice  of  might. 
Ascribe  ye  strength  to  God  on  high; 
His  might  transcendent  fills  the  sky; 
His  glory  and  omnipotence 
Remain  His  people's  sure  defense. 


12. 

Forth  from  Thy  dwelling-place,  O  God. 
Thine  awful  glory  shines  abroad; 
Thy  people's  strength  is  all  from  Thee; 
Blest  be  Thy  Name  eternally.

Blest  be  the  Lord  Who  daily 

Our  heavy  burden  bears  , 
The  God  of  our  salvation 

Who  for  His  people  cares. 
Our  God  is  near  to  help  us, 

Our  God  is  strong  to  save 
The  Lord  alone  is  able 

To  ransom  from  the  grave. 


Sing  unto  God  ,  ye  nations  , 

Ye  kingdoms  of  the  earth  ; 
Sing  unto  God  ,  all  people  , 

And  praise  His  matchless  worth. 
He  rides  in  royal  triumph 

Upon  the  heavens  abroad  ; 
He  speaks,  the  mountains  tremble 

Before  the  voice  of  God. 


All  glory,  might,  and  honor 

Ascribe  to  God  on  high  ; 
His  arm  protects  His  people 

Who  on  His  power  rely. 
Forth  from  Thy  holy  dwelling 

Thine  awful  glories  shine ; 
Thou  strengthenest  Thy  people 

Unending  praise  be  Thine.

5. 

In  full  assurance  of  Thy  grace 

To  Thee  my  prayers  ascend ; 
In  Thine  abounding  love  and  truth , 

O  God ,  salvation  send. 
Preserve  my  sinking  soul,  I  pray, 

From  tides  of  hatred  save ; 
Let  not  the  waters  overflow ; 

Redeem  me  from  the  grave. 


They  gave  me  bitter  gall  for  food , 

And  taunting  words  they  spake ; 
They  gave  me  vinegar  to  drink, 

My  burning  thirst  to  slake. 
Their  peace  and  plenty  be  their  snare; 

In  blindness  let  them  grope; 
Thine  indignation  on  them  pour, 

And  desolate  their  hope. 


Because  Thy  mercy  ,  Lord  ,  is  good  , 

O  answer  me  in  grace  ; 
And  in  the  riches  of  Thy  love 

0  turn  to  me  Thy  face. 
Hide  not  Thy  face  from  my  distress, 

A  speedy  answer  send ; 
Draw  near  to  me ,  my  soul  redeem , 

From  all  my  foes  defend. 


9. 

Because  they  proudly  persecute 

Those  whom  Thou  ,  Lord  ,  dost  smite  , 
Let  them  be  blotted  from  Thy  book 

And  banished  from  Thy  sight. 
Though  I  am  poor  and  sorrowful , 

Hear  Thou  ,  0  God  ,  my  cry ; 
Let  Thy  salvation  come  to  me 

And  lift  me  up  on  high. 


7. 

Well  known  to  Thee  is  my  reproach , 

My  shame  and  my  disgrace ; 
The  adversaries  of  my  soul 

Are  all  before  Thy  face. 
My  heart  is  broken  by  reproach , 

My  soul  is  full  of  grief; 
1  looked  in  vain  for  comforters , 

For  pity  and  relief. 


10. 

Then  will  I  praise  my  God  with  song. 

To  Him  my  thanks  shall  rise, 
And  this  shall  please  Jehovah  more 

Than  offered  sacrifice. 
The  meek  shall  see  it  and  rejoice; 

Ye  saints ,  no  more  be  sad ; 
For  lo ,  Jehovah  hears  the  poor 

And  makes  His  prisoners  glad. 


11. 

Let  heaven  and  earth  and  seas  rejoice , 

Let  all  therein  give  praise ; 
For  Zion  God  will  surely  save. 

Her  broken  walls  will  raise. 
In  Zion  they  that  love  His  Name 

Shall  dwell  from  age  to  age; 
Yea,  there  shall  be  their  lasting  rest. 

Their  children's  heritage.

Deliver  me  from  wicked  hands, 

Save  me  from  men  unjust; 
For  Thou,  Jehova,  art  my  hope. 

From  youth  Thou  art  my  trust. 
Thou  hast  upheld  me  in  Thy  grace 

From  childhood's  early  days; 
To  Thee  from  Whom  I  life  received 

Will  I  give  constant  praise. 


But  I  will  ever  hope  in  Thee , 

My  ceaseless  praise  is  Thine ; 
1  will  declare  Thy  countless  deeds 

Of  truth  and  grace  divine. 
Yea ,  I  will  tell  the  mighty  acts 

Performed  by  God  the  Lord ; 
Thy  righteousness ,  and  Thine  alone 

With  praise  I  will  record. 


Though  troubles  great  o'ershadow  me. 

Thou  art  my  refuge  strong; 
My  mouth  shall  praise  Thee  all  the  day, 

Thine  honor  be  my  song. 
Cast  me  not  off  when  hoary  age 

Becomes  my  weary  lot. 
And  in  the  days  of  failing  strength 

Do  Thou  forsake  me  not. 


6. 

For  from  my  early  youth ,  O  God  , 

By  Thee  have  I  been  taught, 
And  faithfully  have  I  declared 

The  wonders  Thou  hast  wrought. 
O  gracious  God ,  forsake  me  not 

When  I  am  old  and  gray , 
That  unto  those  that  follow  me 

I  may  Thy  might  display. 


My  foes  are  strong  and  confident, 

For  I  to  them  appear 
As  one  forsaken  by  his  God , 

With  none  to  help  me  near. 
My  God ,  be  Thou  not  far  from  me , 

Make  haste  to  hear  my  call ; 
Ashamed,  consumed  be  all  my  foes. 

Dishonored  let  them  fall. 


Thy  perfect  righteousness ,  0  God 

The  height  of  heaven  exceeds ; 
O  who  is  like  to  Thee,  Who  hast 

Performed  such  mighty  deeds  ? 
Thou  Who  hast  sent  me  many  griefs 

Wilt  yet  my  soul  restore. 
And  out  of  sorrow's  lowest  depths 

Wilt  bring  me  forth  once  more. 


O  turn  again  and  comfort  me , 

My  waning  strength  increase. 
And  for  Thy  faithfulness ,  O  God  , 

My  praise  shall  never  cease. 
Thou  Holy  One  of  Israel, 

To  Thee  sweet  songs  I  raise ; 
The  soul  Thou  hast  redeemed  from  death 

Shall  give  Thee  joyful  praise. 


My  enemies  that  seek  my  hurt 
Thy  help  has  put  to  shame  : 

My  thankful  tongue  will  ceaselessly 
Thy  righteousness  proclaim.

Then  the  very  hills  shall  yield 

Fruits  of  peace  and  righteousness, 
He  Thy  needy  ones  will  shield  , 

Save  their  children  in  distress. 
Breaker  of  the  oppressor's  pride! 

All  to  Thee  in  fear  shall  bend  , 
While  the  sun  and  moon  abide. 

Through  all  ages  till  the  end. 


6. 

They  shall  live  and  ,  thankful ,  bring 

Sheba's  gold  in  offering  meet. 
Ceaselessly  for  Zion's  King 

Prayer  shall  rise  as  incense  sweet. 
Constant  as  His  gifts  descend , 

Shall  return  the  gladsome  song ; 
Praise  of  earth  and  heaven  blend , 

Blessing  Him  the  whole  day  long. 


He  will  come  as  gentle  rains 

On  the  new-mown  grass  distilled ; 
And,  as  on  the  thirsty  plains 

Fall  the  showers  with  blessing  filled. 
In  His  days,  with  glory  crowned, 

Righteousness  shall  wide  prevail ; 
Peace  through  all  the  earth  abound 

Till  the  light  of  moons  shall  fail. 


Yea,  upon  the  mountain  height 

Plenteous  fields  of  grain  shall  stand; 
Rustling  in  the  winds  of  night. 

As  old  Lebanon's  cedars  grand. 
And  in  Zion ,  happy  place, 

Numerous  sons  shall  spring  to  birth , 
Flourishing  in  princely  grace, 

As  the  grass  that  decks  the  earth. 


He  shall  reign  from  sea  to  sea , 

Through  all  lands  to  earth's  far  end 
Wildest  tribes  shall  bow  the  knee , 

Foes  to  dust  their  faces  bend. 
Kings  of  distant  lands  shall  lay 

Rich  oblations  at  His  feet; 
All  earth's  kings  shall  tribute  pay , 

Nations  render  service  meet. 


Ever  shall  His  name  endure 

And  increase  while  shines  the  light; 
Scattering  wide  its  blessings  pure , 

Till  the  sun  shall  sink  in  night. 
Yea,  though  sun  and  stars  grow  dim, 

Fade  away  to  shine  no  more , 
Men  shall  still  be  blessed  in  Him , 

Call  Him  happy  and  adore. 


When  the  poor  and  needy  cry 

In  their  helplessness  and  grief , 
Then  the  pitying  Lord  is  nigh , 

And  will  grant  them  swift  relief. 
From  the  oppressor's  wrath  and  power 

He'll  redeem  them  by  His  might: 
And  their  blood,  in  life's  last  hour, 

Shall  be  precious  in  His  sight. 


9. 

Blessed  be  the  King  of  kings ! 

Blessed  Thou  ,  Jehovah  God  ! 
Who  alone  dost  wondrous  things , 

God  of  Israel  and  our  God. 
Blessed  be  thy  glorious  name  ! 

Name  of  all  surpassing  worth  — 
Jesus  Christ  fore'er  the  same  — 

Let  Thy  glory  fill  the  earth  !

The  righteous  in  His  glorious  day 

Shall  flourish  and  increase ; 
The  earth,  until  the  moon  shall  fade. 

Shall  have  abundant  peace. 


6. 

The  poor  and  needy  He  shall  spare, 

And  save  their  souls  from  fear; 
He  shall  redeem  them  from  all  wrong ; 

Their  life  to  Him  is  dear. 
So  they  shall  live,  and  bring  to  Him 

Their  gifts  of  finest  gold ; 
For  Him  shall  constant  prayer  be  made 

His  praise  each  day  be  told. 


4. 

His  wide  dominion  shall  extend 

From  sea  to  utmost  sea. 
And  unto  earth's  remotest  bounds 

His  peaceful  rule  shall  be. 
The  tribes  that  in  the  desert  dwell 

Shall  bow  before  His  throne  ; 
His  enemies  shall  be  subdued  , 

And  He  shall  rule  alone. 


7. 

Abundant  fields  of  grain  shall  wave 

All  white  for  harvesting, 
And  boundless  joy  and  gladness  fill 

The  city  of  the  King. 
His  Name  ,  enduring  like  the  sun  , 

Shall  ever  be  confessed ; 
All  nations  shall  be  blest  in  Him  , 

All  men  shall  call  Him  blessed. 


The  kings  shall  come  from  distant  lands 

And  islands  of  the  sea; 
Oblations  they  shall  bring  to  Him 

And  wait  on  bended  knee. 
Yea,  all  the  kings  shall  bow  to  Him, 

His  rule  all  nations  hail ; 
He  will  regard  the  poor  man's  cry 

When  other  helpers  fail. 


Blest  be  the  Lord,  our  fathers'  God, 

Eternal  King  of  kings. 
Who  only  is  omnipotent , 

Performing  wondrous  things. 
Blest  be  His  great  and  glorious  Name 

Forevermore ,  Amen  , 
And  let  His  glory  fill  the  earth 

From  shore  to  shore.     Amen.

oth  -  er  men    are  ,      The  plagues  of  their  fel-lows  they  view   from    a   -   far. 


In  garments  of  boasting  and  violence  decked, 
With  wealth  more  abundant  than  heart  could  expect, 
They  scoff,  and  the  helpless  they  proudly  oppress; 
The  heavens  and  the  earth  they  assume  to  possess. 


Despising  God's  people,  they  cause  them  to  drain 
The  cup  of  oppression,  injustice,  and  pain; 
They  question  God's  knowledge  and  boldly  defy 
The  might  and  Ihc  justice  of  God  the  Most  High. 


141 


The  wicked  ,  grown  wealthy,  have  comfort  and  peace , 
While  I,  daily  chastened,  see  troubles  increase, 
And,  wronging  God's  children,  I  cried  in  my  pain. 
That  clean  hands  are  worthless ,  and  pure  hearts  are  vain. 


I  went  to  God's  temple:  my  doubts  were  dispelled; 
The  end  of  life's  journey  I  clearly  beheld. 
I  saw  in  what  peril  ungodly  men  stand 
With  sudden  destruction  and  ruin  at  hand. 


7.     As  when  one  awaking  forgetteth  his  dream  , 

So  God  will  despise  them,  though  great  they  may  seem; 
My  envy  was  senseless,  my  grief  was  for  nought. 
Because  I  was  faithless,  and  foolish  my  thought. 


Lo,  I,  though  afflicted,  am  ever  with  Thee; 

My  hand  is  in  Thy  hand,  Thou  carest  for  me; 

My  soul  with  Thy  counsel  through  life  Thou  wilt  guide, 

And  afterward  make  me  in  glory  abide. 


In  glory  Thou  only  ray  portion  shalt  be. 
On  earth  for  none  other  I  long  but  for  Thee ; 
My  flesh  and  heart  falter,  but  God  is  my  stay, 
The  strength  of  my  spirit,  my  portion  for  aye. 


10.    All  they  that  forsake  Thee  must  perish  and  die, 
But  near  to  my  Saviour  most  blessed  am  I. 
1  make  Thee  my  refuge,  my  Lord  and  my  God; 
Thy  grace  and  Thy  glory  I  publish  abroad.

2.  In  ruin  long  Thy  temple  lies  ; 

Arise ,  O  God  of  grace  , 
And  see  the  ruin  foes  have  wrought 

Within  Thy  holy  place. 
Amid  Thy  courts  are  lifted  high 

The  standards  of  the  foe , 
And  impious  hands  with  axe  and  fire 

Have  laid  Thy  temple  low. 

3.  They  have  profaned  the  holy  place 

Where  Thou  hast  set  Thy  Name ; 
The  sanctuaries  of  our  God 

Are  given  to  the  flame. 
We  see  no  signs  of  power  divine  , 

No  prophet  speaks  for  Thee. 
And  none  can  tell,  and  none  can  know, 

How  long  these  woes  shall  be. 

4.  How  long,  O  God,  shall  blasphemy 

And  shame  reproach  our  land? 
Why  dost  Thou  not  destroy  Thy  foes 

With  Thine  almighty  hand? 
O  God ,  Thou  art  our  King  of  old , 

Salvation  Thou  hast  wrought ; 
In  safety  through  the  mighty  sea 

Our  fathers  Thou  hast  brought. 

5.  With  mighty  arm  Thou  didst  destroy 

The  pride  of  boastful  man , 
And  for  Thy  people  made  a  path 

Where  mighty  waters  ran. 
The  day  is  Thine,  and  Thine  the  night, 

And  Thine  the  shining  sun  ; 
At  Thy  command  earth's  bounds  are  set 

And  changing  seasons  run. 

6.  Mark  how  Thine  enemies,  O  Lord, 

Against  Thee  proudly  speak ; 
Preserve  Thy  saints  from  wicked  men. 
Be  mindful  of  the  meek.

2.  The  thought  of  God  brought  me  no  peace. 
But  rather  made  my  fears  increase ; 

With  sleepless  eyes  and  speechless  pain 
My  fainting  spirit  grieved  in  vain  ; 
The  blessedness  of  long  ago 
Made  deeper  still  my  present  woe. 

3.  Recalling  days  when  faith  was  bright. 
When  songs  of  gladness  filled  my  night, 
1  pondered  o'er  my  grievious  woes 

And  searching  questioning  arose : 
Will  God  cast  off,  and  nevermore 
His  favor  to  my  soul  restore  ? 

4.  1  asked  in  fear  and  bitterness, 
Will  God  forsake  me  in  distress  ? 
Shall  1  His  promise  faithless  find? 
Has  God  forgotten  to  be  kind? 
Has  He  in  anger  hopelessly 
Removed  His  love  and  grace  from  me  ? 

5.  These  doubts  and  fears  that  troubled  me 
Were  born  of  my  infirmity; 

Though  I  am  weak,  God  is  most  high, 

And  on  His  goodness  I  rely  ; 

Of  all  His  wonders  I  will  tell , 

And  on  His  deeds  my  thoughts  shall  dwell. 

6.  O  God  ,  most  holy  are  Thy  ways , 

And  who  like  Thee  deserves  my  praise  ? 
Thou  only  doest  wondrous  things ; 
The  whole  wide  world  Thy  glory  sings; 
Thine  outstretched  arm  Thy  people  saved, 
Though  sore  distressed  and  long  enslaved. 

7.  O  God,  from  Thee  the  waters  fled. 

The  depths  were  moved  with  mighty  dread. 
The  swelling  clouds  their  torrents  poured  , 
And  o'er  the  earth  the  tempest  roared ; 
'Mid  lightning's  flash  and  thunder's  sound 
Great  trembling  shook  the  solid  ground. 

8.  Thy  way  was  in  the  sea,  O  God, 
Through  mighty  waters,  deep  and  broad; 
None  understood  but  God  alone , 

To  man  Thy  footsteps  were  unknown; 
But  safe  Thy  people  Thou  didst  keep , 
Almighty  Shepherd  of  Thy  sheep.

The  story  be  told,  to  warn  and  restrain, 

Of  hearts  that  were  hard,  rebellious,  and  vain, 

Of  soldiers  who  faltered  when  battle  was  near, 

Who  kept  not  God's  covenant  nor  walked  in  His  fear. 

God's  wonderful  works  to  them  He  had  shown  , 
His  marvelous  deeds  their  fathers  had  known  ; 
He  made  for  their  pathway  the  waters  divide, 
His  glorious  pillar  of  cloud  was  their  guide. 

He  gave  them  to  drink,  relieving  their  thirst, 
And  forth  from  the  rock  caused  water  to  burst ; 
Yet  faithless  they  tempted  their  God  ,  and  they  said. 
Can  He  Who  gave  water  supply  us  with  bread  ? 


149 

7.  Jehovah  was  wroth  because  they  forgot 

To  hope  in  their  God  ,  and  trusted  Him  not; 
Yet  gracious,  He  opened  the  doors  of  the  sky 
And  rained  down  the  manna  in  richest  supply. 

8.  With  bread  from  on  high  their  need  He  supplied  , 
And  more  did  He  do  when  thankless  they  sighed  ; 

The  strong  winds  commanding  from  south  and  from  east, 
He  sent  them  abundance  of  quail  for  their  feast. 

9.  Though  well  they  were  filled,  their  folly  they  chose, 
Till  God  in  His  wrath  o'erwhelmed  them  with  woes ; 
He  slew  of  their  strongest  and  smote  their  young  men  , 
But  still  unbelieving  they  sinned  even  then. 

10.  Because  of  their  sin  He  smote  with  His  rod , 
And  then  they  returned  and  sought  for  their  God ; 
Their  Rock  and  Redeemer  was  God  the  Most  High, 
Yet  false  were  their  praises,  their  promise  a  lie. 

11.  Not  right  with  their  God  in  heart  and  in  will. 
They  faithlessly  broke  His  covenant  still ; 

But  He,  in  compassion,  reluctant  to  slay. 
Forgave  them  and  oft  turned  His  anger  away. 

12.  His  pity  was  great ,  though  often  they  sinned , 
For  they  were  but  flesh ,  a  swift  passing  wind ; 
Yet  though  His  compassion  and  grace  they  beheld. 
They  tempted  and  grieved  Him  and  often  rebelled. 

13.  They  limited  God,  the  Most  Holy  One, 

And  hindered  the  work  His  grace  had  begun; 
The  hand  that  was  mighty  to  save  they  forgot, 
The  day  of  redemption  remembering  not. 

14.  Ungrateful  and  blind  ,  no  longer  they  thought 

Of  wonders  and  signs  and  mighty  deeds  wrought, 

Of  how  all  the  rivers  of  Egypt  ran  red , 

And  plagues  in  God's  anger  were  heaped  on  their  head. 

15.  They  thought  not  of  how,  their  freedom  to  gain, 
in  Egypt's  abodes  the  first-born  were  slain , 

And  how  all  God's  people  were  led  forth  like  sheep. 
The  flock  He  delighted  in  safety  to  keep. 

16.  Unharmed  through  the  sea,  where  perished  their  foe. 
He  caused  them  with  ease  and  safety  to  go; 

His  holy  land  gaining,  in  peace  they  were  brought 
To  dwell  in  the  mountain  the  Lord's  hand  had  bought. 

17.  He  gave  them  the  land ,  a  heritage  fair ; 
The  nations  that  dwelt  in  wickedness  there 

He  drove  out  before  them  with  great  overthrow . 
And  gave  to  His  people  the  tents  of  the  foe. 

18.  Again  they  rebelled  and  tempted  the  Lord , 
Unfaithful  they  turned  to  idols  abhorred; 

And  God  in  His  anger  withdrew  from  them  then  , 
No  longer  delighting  to  dwell  among  men. 

19.  He  gave  them  to  death  in  battle  ,  although 

His  glory  and  strength  were  scorned  by  the  foe ; 
Their  young  men  were  fallen,  their  maidens  unwed, 
Their  priests  slain  in  battle  ,  none  wept  for  the  dead. 

20.  Then  mercy  awoke  ,  the  Lord  in  His  might 
Returned,  and  the  foes  were  scattered  in  flight; 
Again  to  His  people  His  favor  He  showed , 
And  chose  in  Mount  Zion  to  fix  His  abode. 

21.  His  servant  He  called,  a  shepherd  of  sheep, 
t-ro'i  tending  his  flock,  the  people  to  keep; 

So  David ,  their  shepherd  ,  with  wisdom  and  might 
Protected  and  fed  them  and  led  them  aright.

2.  Their  blood  about  Jerusalem 

Like  water  have  they  shed; 
And  there  was  none  to  bury  them 

When  they  were  dead. 
Our  very  names  as  a  reproach 

On  neighbors'  lips  are  found; 
We  are  a  scorn  and  laughing  stock 

To  all  around. 

3.  How  long  Jehovah  ?   Nevermore 

Wilt  Thou  from  anger  turn  ? 
And  shall  Thy  fervent  jealousy 

Forever  burn? 
On  heathen  kingdoms  pour  Thy  wrath. 

That  call  not  on  Thy  name, 
For  Jacob  they  devour,  and  waste 

His  fields  with  flame. 

4.  Lay  not  on  us  our  fathers'  sins ; 

Thy  tender  mercies  show; 
0  quickly  send  relief  to  us 

Now  brought  so  low. 
O  God,  our  Saviour,  give  us  help; 

To  Thy  name  glory  take. 
Deliver  us  and  cleanse  from  sin 

For  Thy  name's  sake. 

5.  The  heathen  say,  „Where  is  their  God?" 

But  let  it  now  be  shown 
Thou  dost  avenge  the  blood  of  those 

Who  are  Thine  own. 
O  let  the  prisoners'  sighs  ascend 

Before  Thee,  throned  on  high; 
According  to  Thy  might  preserve 

Those  doomed  to  die. 

6.  And  to  our  neighbors'  bosom  turn  , 

In  seven-fold  reward , 
All   their  reproach  which  they  have  cast 

On  Thee,  O  Lord. 
So  we  Thy  people,  Thine  own  flock, 

Will  ever  bless  Thy  name; 
And  unto  every  age  will  we 

Thy  praise  proclaim.

Defenseless,  the  victim  and  spoil  of  her  foes. 
O  turn,  we  beseech  Thee,  all  glory  is  Thine, 
Look  down  in  Thy  mercy  and  visit  Thy  vine. 

The  branch  of  Thy  planting  is  burned  and  cut  down  , 
Brought  nigh  to  destruction  because  of  Thy  frown  ; 
The  man  of  Thy  right  hand  with  wisdom  endue, 
The  son  of  man  strengthen  Thy  pleasure  to  do. 

When  Thou  shalt  revive  us  Thy  Name  we  will  praise  , 

And  nevermore ,  turning ,  depart  from  Thy  ways  ;

In  the  thunder  answered  thee.

Open  wide  thy  moulh  of  longing;

Yea,  they  would  not  yield  to  Me;

Their  own  counselors  to  be. 


If  My  people  would  obey  Me, 

Gladly  walking  in  My  ways , 
Soon  would  1,  their  foes  subduing. 

Fill  their  lips  with  songs  of  praise. 
All  the  haters  of  Jehovah 

Shall  His  clemency  implore , 
And  the  days  of  those  that  love  Him 

Shall  endure  forevermore. 

Yea,  with  wheat  the  very  finest 

I  their  hunger  will  supply, 
Bid  the  very  rocks  yield  honey 

That  shall  fully  satisfy.

O  Thou,  Who  in  a  former  day 
Didst  turn  Thy  dreadful  wrath  away, 
In  grace  Thy  people,  Lord,  return, 
And  let  Thy  wrath  no  longer  burn. 


O  will  Thine  anger  never  cease. 
Forever  shall  Thy  wrath  increase? 
Revive  and  quicken  us  once  more. 
And  Thy  salvation's  joy  restore. 


To  us  Thy  mercy  now  afford 
And  show  us  Thy  salvation.  Lord; 
Yea,  Thou  wilt  answer  us  in  peace, 
If  from  our  folly  we  will  cease. 


The  Lord's  salvation  will  appear 

To  men  of  faith  and  godly  fear; 

And  glory  in  our  land  shall  dwell 

When  we  shall  heed  God's  precepts  well. 


6. 


Now  truth  agrees  with  mercy  mild, 
Now  law  and  peace  are  reconciled; 
Behold  the  truth  from  earth  arise, 
With  justice  shining  from  the  skies. 


7. 


The  Lord  will  s.end  His  blessing  down, 
And  harvests  all  our  land  shall  crown; 
Before  Him  righteousness  abides. 
And  in  His  steps  our  feet  He  guides.

7.  Thee,  Lord  my  God,  I'll  praise  with  all  my  heart! 
Yea,  I  will  ever  glorify  Thy  name! 

For  great  in  mercy  unto  me  Thou  art; 

And  Thou  hast  saved  me  from  the  lowest  shame. 

8.  Behold,  o  God,  the  proud  against  me  rise! 
Behold  their  throngs  who  violence  employ! 
They  have  not  set  Thy  fear  before  their  eyes. 
But  would  with  cruel  hands  my  soul  destroy. 

9.  But  Thou,  o  Lord,  art  still  a  gracious  God, 
Full  of  compassion  as  in  days  of  old. 
Slow  unto  wrath,  withholding  long  Thy  rod. 
Rich  in  Thy  truth  and  mercies  manifold. 

10.  O  turn  to  me,  Thy  mercy  I  implore; 

Hide  not  Thy  face  away  from  me  in  scorn; 
Thy  fainting  servant  with  Thy  strength  restore. 
And  save  the  son  of  Thine  own  handmaid  born. 

11.  To  me  a  token  of  Thy  goodness  show 

Which  they  who  hate  me  may  with  wonder  see, 
And  be  ashamed,  as  at  the  last  they  know 
That  Thou  hast  comforted  and  holpen  me.

Comfort  Thy  servant  now , 
While  at  Thy  throne  I  bow, 

For  Thou  art  love. 
Thy  pardoning  grace  is  free; 
Sinners  who  call  on  Thee 
Thy  tender  mercy  see, 

0  God  above. 


Help  me  Thy  will  to  do, 
Thy  truth  I  will  pursue, 

Teach  me  to  fear. 
Give  me  the  single  eye 
Thy  Name  to  glorify, 
O  Lord ,  my  God  Most  High , 

With  heart  sincere. 


Lord,  hear  me  while  I  pray. 
While  now  in  trouble's  day 

I  seek  Thy  face. 
To  answer,  Lord,  is  Thine; 
Thou  only  art  divine. 
Most  bright  Thy  glories  shine, 

O  God  of  grace. 

By  all  whom  Thou  hast  made 
Be  praise  and  worship  paid 

Through  earth  abroad. 
Thy  Name  be  glorified; 
There  is  none  great  beside; 
Matchless  Thy  works  abide, 

For  Thou  art  God. 


How  great  Thy  love  appears 
That  bade  death's  gloomy  fears 

No  more  dismay. 
O  God,  to  anger  slow. 
Save  me  from  every  foe. 
Thy  loving-kindness  show. 

Thy  truth  display. 

Show  me  Thy  mercy  true, 
Thy  servant's  strength  renew. 

Deliverance  send. 
To  me  Thy  goodness  show 
Thy  comfort,  Lord,  bestow; 
Let  those  that  hate  me  know 

Thou  art  my  friend.

Thou  hast  brought  me  down  to  darkness, 

'Neath  Thy  wrath  I  am  oppressed ; 
All  the  billows  of  affliction 

Overwhelm  my  soul  distressed. 
Thou  hast  made  my  friends  despise  me , 

And  companionless  I  go, 
Bound,  and  helpless  in  my  bondage. 

Pining  in  my  bitter  woe. 


Unto  Thee  with  hands  uplifted 

Daily  I  direct  my  cry; 
Hear,  O  Lord,  my  supplication. 

Hear  and  save  me  e'er  I  die. 
Wilt  Thou  wait  to  show  Thy  wonders 

And  Thy  mercy  to  the  dead? 
Let  me  live  to  tell  Thy  praises. 

By  Thy  loving-kindness  led. 


Still,  O  Lord,  renewed  each  morning 

Unto  Thee  my  prayer  shall  be; 
Cast  me  not  away  forever. 

Let  me  now  Thy  favor  see. 
All  my  life  is  spent  in  sorrow. 

Grief  and  terror  always  nigh; 
Waves  of  wrath  have  surged  about  me; 

Show  Thy  mercy  e'er  I  die. 


Friend  and  lover  are  departed. 
Dark  and  lonely  is  my  way; 

Lord,  be  Thou  my  friend  and  helper. 
Still  to  Thee,  O  Lord,  I  pray.

Behold  God's  truth  and  grace  displayed, 
For  He  has  faithful  covenant  made, 
And  He  has  sworn  that  David's  son 
Shall  ever  sit  upon  his  throne. 


With  fear  and  reverence  at  His  feet 
God's  holy  ones  in  council  meet; 
Yea,  more  than  all  about  His  throne 
Must  He  be  feared  and  He  alone. 


4.   The  heavens  shall  join  in  glad  accord 
To  praise  Thy  wondrous  worl<s,  O  Lord; 
Thy  faithfulness  shall  praise  command 
Where  holy  ones  assembled  stand. 


7.   O  Thou  Jehovah,  God  of  Hosts, 

What  mighty  one  Thy  likeness  boasts? 
In  all  Thy  works  and  vast  designs 
Thy  faithfulness  forever  shines. 


5.   Who  in  the  heavenly  dwellings  fair 
Can  with  the  Lord  Himself  compare? 
Or  who  among  the  mighty  shares 
The  likeness  that  Jehovah  bears? 


The  swelling  sea  obeys  Thy  will, 
Its  angry  waves  Thy  voice  can  still; 
Thy  mighty  enemies  are  slain. 
Thy  foes  resist  Thy  power  in  vain. 


167 


9.   The  heavens  and  earth,  by  right  divine, 
The  world  and  all  therein,  are  Thine; 
The  whole  creation's  wondrous  frame 
Proclaims  its  Maker's  glorious  Name. 

10.  Almighty  God,  Thy  lofty  throne 
Has  justice  for  its  corner-stone; 
And  shining  bright  before  Thy  face 

Are  truth  and  love  and  boundless  grace. 

11.  With  blessing  is  the  nation  crowned 
Whose  people  know  the  joyful  sound; 
They  in  the  light,  O  Lord,  shall  live, 
The  light  Thy  face  and  favor  give. 

12.  Thy  Name  with  gladness  they  confess, 
Exalted  in  Thy  righteousness; 

Their  fame  and  might  to  Thee  belong, 
For  in  Thy  favor  they  are  strong. 

13.  All  glory  unto  God  we  yield, 
Jehovah  is  our  help  and  shield; 
All  praise  and  honor  we  will  bring 
To  Israel's  Holy  One,  our  King. 

14.  In  vision  to  His  saints  God  spake: 
From  out  the  people  one  1  take 

A  mighty  leader,  true  and  brave. 
Ordained,  exalted,  strong  to  save. 

16.   My  chosen  servant  1  appoint, 
With  holy  oil  his  head  anoint; 
My  hand  with  him  shall  still  remain, 
My  arm  his  strength  shall  well  sustain. 

16.  No  enemy  shall  him  affright. 
His  adversaries  I  will  smite. 

My  faithfulness  to  him  will  prove, 
And  nevermore  My  grace  remove. 

17.  Yea,  he  shall  triumph  in  My  Name, 
And  great  shall  be  his  power  and  fame; 
From  sea  to  sea  his  mighty  hand 

Shall  hold  dominion  o'er  the  land. 

18.  Thou  art  my  Father,  he  shall  cry. 
My  God,  my  rock  of  refuge  high; 
My  firstborn  son  shall  he  be  owned, 
Above  the  kings  of  earth  enthroned. 


19.  For  him  My  mercy  shall  endure. 
My  covenant  made  with  him  is  sure; 
His  throne  and  race  I  will  maintain 
Forever,  while  the  heavens  remain. 

20.  Should  sons  of  his  my  laws  forsake. 
My  just  commands  and  statutes  break, 
Then,   though   My  rod  their  sins  reprove, 
My  mercy  I  will  not  remove. 

21.  Though  they  be  chastened  sore  and  tried. 
My  faithfulness  shal  yet  abide; 

My  plighted  word  I  will  not  break. 
Nor  change  the  promise  that  I  spake. 

22.  My  oath  is  steadfast,  ever  sure. 
My  servant's  race  shall  still  endure; 
His  throne  forever  firm  shall  stay 
When  sun  and  moon  have  passed  away. 

23.  On  Thine  anointed  wrath  is  poured 
As  if  Thy  covenant  were  abhorred; 
Thou  hast  profaned  his  kingly  crown, 
His  matchless  strength  is  broken  down. 

24.  He  is  reproached  and  spoiled  of  all. 
His  enemies  upon  him  fall; 

His  beauty  is  consumed  away. 
Forgotten  is  his  kingly  sway. 

25.  Cut  off  in  youth,  his  sacred  name 

Is  covered  now  with  deepest  shame; 
How  long,  O  Lord,  shall  wrath  abide, 
Thy  face  forever  wilt  Thou  hide? 

26.  Think  on  my  life!  O  Lord,  take  thought! 
Hast  Thou  created  man  for  nought? 
What  man  that  lives  has  power  to  save 
His  soul  from  death,  and  from  the  grave? 

27.  Where  are  Thy  mercies  which  of  old 
Were  in  Thy  promises  foretold? 
Remember,  Lord,  the  bitter  shame 
Heaped  on  Thine  own  anointed's  name. 

28.  Blest  be  the  Lord  forevermore, 

Whose  promise  stands  from  days  of  yore. 
His  word  is  faithful  now  as  then ; 
Blest  be  His  Name.    Amen,  Amen.

With  Thine  own  chosen  One  a  cov'nant  Thou  hast  made, 

And  to  Thy  Servant  sworn,  in  truth  to  ail  displayed. 

That  evermore  His  seed  Thou  wilt  establish  surely, 

And  unto  every  age  wilt  build  His  throne  securely. 

The  wonders  of  Thy  grace  the  heavens,  O  Lord,  are  telling, 

And  to  Thy  faithfulness  the  saints  their  praises  swelling. 

Who  in  the  skies,  O  Lord,  with  Thee  compared  can  be? 
Among  the  mighty  ones  who  is  there  like  to  Thee? 
A  God  most  greatly  to  be  feared  where  saints  assemble; 
Lord  God  of  Hosts  Thou  art,  let  all  the  people  tremble. 
Who  is  there  like  to  Thee,  in  might  the  ocean  stilling. 
With  faithfulness  about  Thee,  all  Thy  word  fulfilling? 

Thy  foes  are  crushed  by  Thee;  as  slain  they  all  appear; 
Thine  arm  of  strength  alone  hath  scatterred  them  in  fear. 
The  heavens,  the  earth,  the  world  and  all  its  fulness  golden 
Are  Thine  who  foundedst  it  of  old  and  hast  upholden. 
The  north,  the  south,  the  mountains,  hills,  and  valleys  lowly 
Rejoicing  sing  their  great  Creator's  name  Most  Holy. 

Thou  hast  a  mighty  arm  and  strong  is  Thy  right  hand; 
On  justice  and  on  righteousness  Thy  throne  doth  stand: 
Before  Thy  face  are  truth  and  grace  as  heralds  going, 
And  blest  the  people  are  the  joyful  tidings  knowing. 
They  walk  in  light,  o  Lord,  that  from  Thy  face  is  shining. 
And  in  Thy  name  rejoice  from  dawn  to  day's  declining. 


r 


On  high  exalted  in  Thy  righteousness  are  they; 
The  glory  of  their  strength  Thou  art  and  all  their  stay. 
Of  Thy  good  favor,  Lord,  have  we  our  exaltation. 
To  Thee  alone  belongs  the  shield  of  our  salvation; 
And  unto  Thee  who  art  Thy  people's  God  Most  Holy, 
Belongs  our  King,  who  yet  in  heart  is  meek  and  lowly. 

Then  in  a  vision  Thou  to  saints  didst  speak  and  say  — 

Help  on  a  chosen  mighty  One  is  laid  this  day; 

My  Servant  1  have  found,  with  holy  oil  anointed. 

And  with  my  hand  will  strengthen  Him  for  work  appointed. 

No  foe  shall  on  Him  seize,  nor  wicked  men  distress  Him; 

I  will  smite  down  all  those  who  hate  and  would  oppress  Him.

9.   Forever  will  I  keep  my  mercy  for  his  sake, 

And  faithful  shall  be  proved  the  cov'nant  word  I  spake 
Of  endless  years  unto  his  children's  children  given, 
And  that  his  throne  shall  be  as  are  the  days  of  heaven: 
But  only,  if  his  sons  do  not,  my  law  forsaking, 
Walk  their  own  ways  of  sin,  my  holy  statutes  breaking. 


10.   But  if  my  law  they  break  and  my  commands  despise. 
With  rod  and  stripes  that  grieve  will  I  their  sin  chastise. 
And  yet  from  him  my  grace  shall  not  be  wholly  taken; 
Good  faith  shall  fail  him  not  nor  he  be  quite  forsaken. 
My  cov'nant  with  him  made  shall  not  by  me  be  broken, 
Nor  will  I  change  one  word  that  1  to  him  have  spoken. 


By  mine  own  holiness  I  once  have  sworn  —  saith  He, 

Nor  can  my  plighted  word  to  David  faithless  be, 

That  unto  endless  years  shall  be  his  children's  story. 

His  throne  be  as  the  sun  unfading  in  its  glory. 

And  'stablished  as  the  moon  that  faithful  witness  beareth, 

And  in  the  starry  skies  my  faithfulness  declareth. 


12.    Yet  Thine  anointed  one  Thou  hast  in  wrath  cast    down; 
Thou    hast   abhorred  Thy  word;  to  dust  profaned  his  crown: 
His  strongholds  are  to  ruin  brought,  his  hedges  broken: 
Despoiled  by  all,  he  hears  contempt  by  neighbors  spoken. 
His  foes,  by  Thee  made  strong,  behold  with  exultation 
How  vain  his  sword  amid  the  battle's  desolation. 


13.    His  throne  Thou  hast  brought  down  and  dimmed  his  glory's  fame; 
His  youth  Thou  hast  made  short  and  covered  him  with  shame. 
How  long  O  Lord?    Wilt  Thou  thus  hide  Thyself  forever? 
Shall  wrath  burn  like  the  fire  that  can  be  quenched  never? 
Remember  Thou  my  life,  so  short  and  desolated: 
For  what  vain  end  hast  Thou  the  sons  of  men  created? 


14.   What  man  is  he  that  lives  who  shall  not  soon  see  death? 
And  who  can  save  himself  when  fails  life's  fleeting  breath? 
O  Lord,  in  that  great  day  let  not  Thy  mercy  fail  us! 
Let  loving  kindnesses  of  old  once  more  avail  us! 
What  Thou  in  faithfulness  hast  sworn  to  Thine  anointed. 
Remember  Thou  when  comes  the  time  for  all  appointed. 


15.   Remember  how  for  Thee  we  bear  reproach  and  shame. 
When  mighty  foes  of  Thine  reproach  us  for  Thy  name. 
Since  Thy  reproach  is  ours  who  live  with  Thee  in  union, 
Remember  us  for  good,  who  sing  in  glad  communion  — 
BLEST  BE  FOREVERMORE  THE  LORD  BY  ALL  CONFESSED  ! 
AMEN!    YE  PEOPLE  SAY,   AMEN!   THE  LORD  BE  BLESSED.

race,     In     our  fears  and    tri  -  bu    -   la-tions,  Thou  hast  been  our  dwel-ling-

In  Thy  wrath  our  spirits  languish. 

Sinful  'neath  Thy  searching  eye; 
All  our  days  are  passed  in  anguish, 

In  Thy  wrath  we  pine  and  die. 
Three-score  years  and  ten  we  tarry, 

Four-score  years  the  strong  may  stay, 
Long  the  load  of  grief  to  carry, 

Till  at  last  we  fly  away. 


4.  Who  can  weigh  Thy  just  displeasure. 

Who  can  fear  Thee  as  he  ought? 
Teach  us  now  our  days  to  measure 

And  to  wisdom  turn  our  thought. 
Lord,  return,  regard  our  sadness. 

With  Thy  servants  now  abide; 
Fill  our  days  with  joy  and  gladness. 

With  Thy  mercy  satisfied. 

5.  Long  the  clouds  of  evil  lower; 

Bless  us  now  with  gladsome  days; 
Let  Thy  servants  see  Thy  power. 

Let  their  children  learn  Thy  praise. 
On  us  let  the  grace  and  beauty 

Of  the  Lord  our  God  remain; 
Strengthen  us  for  noble  duty 

That  our  work  be  not  in  vain.

The  Lord  with  His  protecting  care 
Shall  keep  thee  from  the  hidden  snare; 
When  fearful  plagues  around  prevail 
Thy  life  the  scourge  shall  not  assail. 
Thou  Shalt  beneath  His  wings  abide 
And  safe  within  His  care  confide; 
His  faithfulness  shall  ever  be 
A  sure  protection  unto  thee. 


Because  thy  trust  is  God  alone, 
Thy  refuge  is  the  Highest  One, 
No  evil  shall  upon  thee  come. 
Nor  plague  approach  thy  guarded  home. 
Angelic  guards  at  His  commands 
Will  bear  thee  safely  in  their  hands, 
Will  keep  thee,  lest,  if  left  alone, 
Thou  dash  thy  foot  against  a  stone. 


No  nightly  terrors  shall  alarm, 
No  deadly  shaft  by  day  shall  harm. 
Nor  pestilence  that  walks  by  night, 
Nor  plagues  that  waste  in  noon-day  light. 
At  thy  right  hand  though  thousands  die, 
No  harm  shall  unto  thee  come  nigh; 
Rut  thou  secure,  unharmed  shalt  see 
What  wicked  men's  reward  shall  be. 


Though  fierce  and  treacherous  foes  assail, 
Their  power  and  wrath  shall  not  prevail; 
Their  cruel  strength,  their  venomed  spite. 
Thou  Shalt  o'ercome  with  conquering  might. 
Because  on  Me  he  set  his  love, 
1  will  his  constant  Saviour  prove, 
And  since  to  him  My  Name  is  known, 
1  will  exalt  him  as  Mine  own. 


6 

As  oft  as  he  shall  call  on  Me , 
Most  gracious  shall  Mine  answer  be; 
1  will  be  with  him  in  distress, 
And  in  his  trouble  1  will  bless. 
Complete  deliverance  1  will  give, 
And  honor  him  while  he  shall  live; 
Abundant  life  1  will  bestow, 
To  him  My  full  salvation  show.

O'er  all  that  would  my  cause  oppose. 

The  righteous  man  shall  flourish  well 
And  in  the  house  of  God  shall  dwell;

They  slay  the  widow  and  the  helpless  stranger; 

With  murderous  hand  the  orphan  put  to  death: 
And  yet  they  say,  "Jehovah  shall  not  see  it: 

The  God  of  Jacob  ne'er  considereth." 
Consider  this,  ye  brutish  of  the  people. 

Ye  foolish  ones,  when  will  ye  wisdom  learn? 
He  who  the  ear  hath  planted  shall  He  hear  not? 

Who  formed  the  eye,  shall  not  His  eyes  discern? 

He  that  chastiseth  nations,  shall  He  judge  not? 

Even  He  that  teacheth  knowledge  unto  man? 
The  Lord  doth  know  the  thoughts  of  man  within  him. 

For  they  are  vanity,  his  life  a  span. 
How  blest  the  man  whom  Thou,  O  Lord,  dost  chasten; 

Whom  Thou  from  out  Thy  law  dost  teach  Thy  ways; 
That  till  the  pit  be  digged  for  all  the  wicked. 

Thou  may'st  give  rest  to  him  from  troublous  days. 

For  never  will  the  Lord  cast  off  His  people , 

Nor  His  inheritance  will  He  forsake ; 
For  judgment  shall  return  to  right  and  justice, 

And  all  the  true  of  heart  its  way  shall  take. 
Who'll  rise  for  me  against  the  evil  doers  ? 

Who  will  for  me  against  the  wicked  stand? 
Unless  the  Lord  Himself  had  been  my  helper. 

Soon  had  I  dwelt  within  the  silent  land. 

When  I,  with  trembling,  said,  "My  foot  now  slippeth," 

Thy  lovingkindness  help  me  up ,  O  Lord  ; 
Yea,  in  the  multitude  of  thoughts  within  me. 

Thy  consolations  great  delight  afford. 
Shall  throne  of  evil  have  with  Thee  communion. 

Which  frameth  mischief  under  law's  pretence? 
Against  the  righteous  gather  they  together. 

And  even  condemn  the  blood  of  innocence. 

But  yet  Jehovah  hath  been  my  high  tower. 
And  God  my  rock  of  refuge  still  hath  been. 

And  He  hath  brought  upon  them  their  own  evil ; 
The  Lord  our  God  will  slay  them  in  their  sin.

How  long,  O  Lord,  in  boastful  pride 
Shall  wicked  men  triumphant  stand? 

How  long  shall  they  afflict  Thy  saints 
And  devastate  Thy  chosen  land  ? 

The  widow  and  the  fatherless 

They  slay,  and  helpless  strangers  smite; 
The  faithful  God  they  do  not  fear , 

They  say  the  Lord  will  not  requite. 

Be  wise,  ye  fools  and  brutish  men!

From  Him  all  truth  and  knowledge  flow; 
The  foolish  thoughts  of  wicked  men, 
How  vain  they  are  the  Lord  doth  know. 

6.  That  man  is  blest  whom  Thou,  O  Lord, 

With  chastening  hand,  dost  teach  Thy  will, 
For  in  the  day  when  sinners  fall 
That  man  in  peace  abideth  still. 

7.  The  Lord  will  not  cast  off  His  own, 

Nor  His  inheritance  forsake; 
Just  judgment  shall  at  length  prevail, 
And  upright  hearts  shall  courage  take. 

8.  Who  will  arise  for  my  defense 

Against  the  wicked  in  the  land? 
Against  iniquity  and  wrong 
What  man  for  me  will  valiant  stand? 

9.  Unless  the  Lord  had  been  my  help. 

My  life  had  quickly  passed  away; 

But  when  my  foot  had  almost  slipped, 

O  Lord,  Thy  mercy  was  my  stay. 

10.  Amid  the  doubts  that  fill  my  mind 

Thy  comforts.  Lord,  bring  joy  to  me. 

Can  wickedness,  though  throned  in  might, 

Have  fellowship,  O  Lord,  with  Thee? 

11.  The  wicked,  in  their  might  arrayed. 

Against  the  righteous  join  their  power. 
But  to  the  Lord  I  flee  for  help; 
He  is  my  refuge  and  my  tower. 

12.  Our  God,  the  refuge  of  His  saints, 

Will  fight  against  iniquity  ; 
Avenger  of  the  innocent 
The  Lord  omnipotent  will  be.

Take  heed  and  harden  not  your  heart 
As  did  your  fathers,  nor  depart 
From  God  to  follow  in  their  ways; 
For  with  complaints  instead  of  praise, 
With  doubt  instead  of  faith  confessed , 
They  put  His  mercy  to  the  test. 

Take  heed  that  ye  provoke  Him  not 
As  did  your  fathers,  who  forgot. 
With  erring  heart,  God's  holy  ways 
And  grieved  Him  all  their  sinful  days; 
To  whom  in  wrath  Jehovah  sware, 
My  promised  rest  they  shall  not  share.

2.  Tell  of  His  wondrous  works  ,  tell  of  His  glory, 

Till  through  the  nations  His  Name  is  revered; 
Praise  and  exalt  Him,  for  He  is  almighty; 
God  over  all  let  the  Lord  be  feared. 

3.  Vain  are  the  heathen  gods,  idols  and  helpless: 

God  made  the  heavens,  and  His  glory  they  tell; 
Honor  and  majesty  shine  out  before  Him, 
Beauty  and  strength  in  His  temple  dwell. 

4.  Give  unto  God  Most  High  glory  and  honor, 

Come  with  your  offerings  and  humbly  draw  near; 
In  holy  beauty  now  worship  Jehovah, 
Tremble  before  Him  with  godly  fear. 

5.  Make  all  the  nations  know  God  reigns  forever ; 

Earth  is  established  as  He  did  decree; 
Righteous  and  just  is  the  King  of  the  nations, 
Judging  the  people  with  equity. 

6.  Let  heaven  and  earth  be  glad;   waves  of  the  ocean, 

Forest  and  field,  exultation  express; 
For  God  is  coming,  the  Judge  of  the  nations, 
Coming  to  judge  in  His  righteousness.

All  ye  that  truly  love  the  Lord, 
Hate  sin,  for  He  is  just  and  pure; 

To  saints  His  help  He  will  accord 
And  keep  them  in  His  love  secure. 

For  good  men  light  and  joy  are  sown 
To  bless  them  in  the  harvest  time; 

Ye  saints,  your  joy  in  God  make  known 
And  ever  praise  His  Name  sublime.

My  heart  is  withered  lii<e  the  grass, 

And  I  forget  my  daily  bread ; 
In  lonely  grief  my  days  I  pass 

And  sad  my  thoughts  upon  my  bed. 
My  foes  reproach  me  all  the  day, 

My  drink  is  tears,  my  bread  is  grief; 
For  in  Thy  wrath  I  pine  away. 

My  days  are  like  a  fading  leaf. 


The  Lord  has  heard  and  answered  prayer 

And  saved  His  people  in  distress; 
This  to  the  coming  age  declare, 

That  they  His  holy  Name  may  bless. 
The  Lord,  exalted  on  His  throne, 

Looked  down  from  heaven  with  pitying  eye 
To  still  the  lowly  captive's  moan 

And  save  His  people  doomed  to  die. 


3.   Thou,  O  Jehovah,  shalt  endure. 

Thy  throne  forever  is  the  same; 
And  to  all  generations  sure 

Shall  be  Thy  great  memorial  Name. 
The  time  for  Zion's  help  is  near, 

The  time  appointed  in  Thy  love; 
O  let  Thy  gracious  aid  appear. 

Look  Thou  in  mercy  from  above. 


All  men  in  Zion  shall  declare 

His  gracious  Name  with  one  accord, 
When  kings  and  nations  gather  there 

To  serve  and  worship  God  the  Lord. 
Before  my  journey  is  complete 

My  vigor  fails,  my  years  decline; 
My  God,  O  spare  me,  I  entreat; 

The  days  of  life  are  wholly  Thine. 


O  Lord,  regard  the  prayer  of  those 

Who  love  the  walls  of  Zion  well, 
Whose  hearts  are  heavy  for  her  woes. 

Who  sad  amid  her  ruins  dwell. 
Thy  power  and  glory  shall  appear. 

And  Zion's  walls  shall  be  restored; 
Then  all  the  kings  of  earth  shall  fear 

And  heathen  nations  serve  the  Lord. 


O  cut  not  short  my  life's  brief  day, 

O  Thou  Whose  years  eternal  run, 
Thou  Who  didst  earth's  foundations  lay. 

Creator  of  the  stars  and  sun. 
The  earth  and  heavens  shall  pass  away. 

Like  vesture  worn  and  laid  aside, 
But  changeless  Thou  shall  live  for  aye. 

Thy  years  forever  shall  abide. 


Thy  servants'  children  shall  remain 

Forevermore  before  Thy  face; 
Enduring  honor  they  shall  gain. 

Established  ever  in  Thy  grace. 
Thy  servants'  children  shall  remain 

Forevermore  before  Thy  face; 
Enduring  honor  they  shall  gain. 

Established  ever  in  Thy  grace.

5. 

Mindful  of  our  human  frailty 

Is  the  God  in  Whom  we  trust; 
He,  Whose  years  are  everlasting — 

He  remembers  we  are  dust. 
Man  is  like  the  tender  flower. 

And  his  days  are  like  the  grass, 
Withered  where  it  lately  flourished 

By  the  blighting  winds  that  pass. 


3. 

Yea,  the  Lord  is  full  of  mercy 

And  compassion  for  distress. 
Slow  to  anger  and  abundant 

In  His  grace  and  tenderness. 
He  will  not  be  angry  alway. 

Nor  will  He  forever  chide; 
Though  we  oft  have  sinned  against  Him, 

Still  His  love  and  grace  abide. 


Changeless  is  Jehovah's  mercy 

Unto  those  who  fear  His  Name, 
From  eternity  abiding 

To  eternity  the  same. 
All  the  faithful  to  His  covenant 

Shall  behold  His  righteousness; 
He  will  be  their  strength  and  refuge. 

And  their  children's  children  bless. 


4. 

As  the  heavens  are  high  above  us. 

Great  His  love  to  us  has  proved; 
Far  as  east  from  west  is  distant, 

He  has  all  our  sins  removed. 
As  a  father  loves  his  children, 

Feeling  pity  for  their  woes. 
So  the  Lord  to  those  who  fear  Him 

Mercy  and  compassion  shows. 


In  the  heavens  the  Lord  Almighty 

Fi.xed  His  everlasting  throne ; 
Over  all  is  His  dominion; 

He  is  God,  and  He  alone. 
Bless  the  Lord,  ye  mighty  angels. 

Ye  that  hearken  to  His  voice. 
All  His  gracious  word  fulfilling; 

Ever  bless  Him  and  rejoice. 


Bless  the  Lord,  all  ye  His  servants. 

Ministers  of  God  Most  High; 
Ye  His  hosts,  that  do  His  pleasure, 

God  your  Maker  glorify. 
Bless  the  Lord,  all  things  created; 

Be  His  holy  Name  adored 
All  throughout  His  wide  dominion. 

O  my  soul,  bless  thou  the  Lord.

Good  is  the  Lord  and  full  of  kind  compassion, 
Most  slow  to  wrath,  abundant  in  His  love; 

Rich  in  His  grace  to  all  that  humbly  seek  Him, 
Boundless  and  endless  as  the  heavens  above. 


His  love  is  like  a  father's  to  his  children, 
Tender  and  kind  to  all  who  fear  His  name. 

For  well  He  knows  our  weakness  and  our  frailty. 
He  knows  that  we  are  dust.  He  knows  our  frame. 


4. 

We  fade  and  die  like  flowers  that  grow  in  beauty, 
Like  tender  grass  that  soon  will  disappear; 

But  evermore  the  love  of  God  is  changeless. 
Still  shown  to  those  who  look  to  Him  in  fear. 


5. 

High  in  the  heavens  His  throne  is  fixed  forever, 
His  kingdom  rules  o'er  all  from  pole  to  pole; 

Bless  ye  the  Lord  through  all  His  wide  dominion; 
Bless  His  most  holy  Name,  O  thou  my  soul.

2.  He  rides  on  the  clouds,  the  wings  of  the  storm, 
The  lightning  and  wind  His  mission  perform; 
The  earth  He  has  founded  her  station  to  keep, 
And  wrapped  as  a  vesture  about  her  the  deep. 

3.  O'er  mountain  and  plain  the  dark  waters  raged ; 
His  voice  they  obeyed;  the  floods  were  assuaged. 
Uplifting  the  mountains  He  stablished  a  bound, 
Forbidding  the  waters  to  cover  the  ground. 

4.  He  causes  the  springs  of  water  to  flow. 

In  streams  'mid  the  hills  and  valleys  below  ; 
Beside  them  with  singing  the  birds  greet  the  day, 
And  there  the  beasts  gather  their  thirst  to  allay. 

5.  He  waters  the  hills  with  rain  from  the  skies, 
And  plentiful  grass  and  herbs  He  supplies. 
Supplying  the  cattle,  and  blessing  man's  toil 
With  bread  in  abundance,  with  wine  and  with  oil. 

6.  The  trees  which  the  Lord  has  planted  are  fed, 
And  over  the  earth  their  branches  are  spread; 
They  keep  in  their  shelter  the  birds  of  the  air; 
The  life  of  each  creature  the  Lord  makes  His  care. 

7.  The  seasons  are  fixed  by  wisdom  divine; 

The  slow  changing  moon  shows  forth  God's  design; 

The  sun  in  his  circuit  his  Maker  obeys, 

And  running  his  journey  hastes  not  nor  delays. 

8.  The  Lord  makes  the  night,  when,  leaving  their  lair, 
The  lions  creep  forth,  God's  bounty  to  share; 

The  Lord  makes  the  morning,  when  beasts  steal  away 
And  men  are  beginning   the  work  of  the  day. 

9.  How  many  and  wise  Thy  works  are,  O  Lord ! 
The  earth  with  the  wealth  of  wisdom  is  stored; 
The  sea  bears  in  safety  the  ships  to  and  fro. 
And  creatures  unnumbered  it  shelters  below. 

10.  Thy  creatures  all  look  to  Thee  for  their  food ; 
Thy  hand  opens  wide;  they  gather  the  good; 
Thy  face  Thou  concealest:  in  anguish  they  yearn; 
Their  breath  Thou  withholdest:  to  dust  they  return. 

11.  Thy  Spirit,  O  Lord,  makes  life  to  abound; 
The  earth  is  renewed,  and  fruitful  the  ground ; 
To  God  ascribe  glory  and  wisdom  and  might; 
Let  God  is  His  creatures  forever  delight. 

12.  Before  the  Lord's  might  earth  trembles  and  quakes; 
The  mountains  are  rent,  and  smoke  from  them  breaks ; 
The  Lord  I  will  worship  through  all  of  my  days. 

Yea,  while  I  have  being  my  God  I  will  praise. 

13.  Rejoicing  in  God,  my  thought  shall  be  sweet, 
While  sinners  depart  in  ruin  complete. 

My  soul,  bless  Jehovah,  His  name  be  adored; 
Come,  praise  Him,  ye  people,  and  worship  the  Lord.

2. 

Ye  children  of  God's  covenant. 

Who  of  His  grace  have  heard, 
Forget  not  all  His  wondrous  deeds 

And  judgments  of  His  word. 
The  Lord  our  God  is  God  alone; 

All  lands  His  judgments  know; 
His  promise  He  remembers  still, 

While  generations  go. 


While  yet  our  fathers  were  but  few, 

Sojourners  in  the  land  , 
He  sware  that  Canaan  should  be  theirs , 

And  make  His  covenant  stand. 
He  suffered  none  to  do  them  wrong 

In  all  their  pilgrim  way; 
Yea,   for  their  sake  were  kings  reproved 

And  covered  with  dismay. 


6. 

To  Egypt  Israel  followed  then  , 

And  there  grew  great  and  strong. 
Until  their  friends  became  their  foes 

And  did  them  grievous  wrong. 
God  sent  His  servant  Moses  then  , 

And  Aaron,  whom  He  chose; 
Great  signs  and  wonders  they  displayed 

To  terrify  their  foes. 

7. 

In  darkness  they  were  thaught  to  fear 

God's  great  and  holy  Name  : 
On  man  and  beast,  on  vine  and  field. 

His  awful  judgment  came. 
He  smote  the  first-born  in  the  land. 

The  chief  of  all  their  strength  , 
Enriched  His  people  with  the  spoil 

And  brought  them  forth  at  length. 


His  stern  command  restrained  their  foes 

And  filled  them  with  alarm: 
Touch  not  Mine  own  anointed  ones . 

Nor  do  My  prophets  harm. 
He  wholly  broke  the  staff  of  bread 

And  called  for  famine  sore, 
And  He  prepared  His  people's  way 

By  sending  one  before. 

5. 

Then  Joseph,  sold  to  slaverny, 

With  cruel  chains  was  bound; 
Till  his  prediction  came  to  pass. 

Distress  and  grief  he  found. 
The  king  released  him  from  his  bonds 

And  made  him  rule  the  land. 
Subjecting  chiefs  and  senators 

To  his  controlling  hand. 


He  led  them  forth  in  health  and  strength. 

None  weak  in  all  their  band, 
And  Egypt,  filled  with  fear,  rejoiced 

To  see  them  leave  the  land. 
He  spread  a  cloud  to  cover  them. 

Most  glorious  and  bright. 
And  made  a  fiery  pillar  shine 

To  give  them  light  by  night. 

9. 

At  their  request  He  sent  them  quails. 

And  bread  of  heaven  bestowed; 
And  from  the  rock,  to  quench  their  thirst, 

The  living  waters  flowed. 
His  sacred  word  to  Abraham 

He  kept,  though  waiting  long. 
And  brought  His  chosen  people  forth 

With  joy  and  thankful  song. 


10. 


The  lands  and  toil  of  wicked  men 
He  gave  them  to  possess , 

That  they  might  keep  His  holy  laws. 
Jehovah  praise  and  bless.

The  Lord  will  bless  and  prosper  those- 

Yea,  blest  indeed  are  they— 
Whose  ways  are  just,  who  constantly 

His  righteous  law  obey. 
O  Lord,  remember  me  in  grace, 

Let  me  salvation  see; 
The  grace  Thou  showest  to  Thy  saints, 

That  grace  reveal  to  me. 


7. 

Yea,  they  despised  the  pleasant  land, 

The  promised  land  of  Qod, 
And  tempted  Him  to  make  them  fall 

And  scatter  them  abroad. 
They  sacrificed  to  heathen  gods, 

And  God  their  sin  repaid  ; 
Then  holy  wrath  avenged  the  wrong. 

And  so  the  plague  was  stayed. 


Let  me  behold  Thy  people's  good 

And  in  their  joy  rejoice; 
With  Thy  triumphant  heritage 

Let  me  lift  up  my  voice. 
In  evil  we  have  gone  astray, 

And  sinful  is  our  race ; 
Rebelliously  our  fathers  walked, 

Forgetful  of  Thy  grace. 

4. 

Though  they  rebelled,  yet  for  their  help 

In  saving  strength  He  came 
To  make  His  power  almighty  known 

And  glorify  His  Name. 
He  brought  them  safely  through  the  sea 

And  overwhelmed  their  foes ; 
Their  faith  was  stirred,  and  for  the  time 

Their  songs  of  praise  crose. 


Forgetful  soon,  they  tempted  God, 

Nor  for  His  counsel  cared; 
He  sent  them  leanness  in  their  souls. 

Whilst  they  earth's  bounties  shared. 
With  envy  they  regarded  those 

Whom  God  to  them  had  sent; 
The  opening  earth,  the  kindling  flame. 

Brought  awful  punishment. 

6. 

A  golden  image  they  adored. 

And  worshiped  at  its  shrine; 
Thus  they  despised  the  living  God 

And  scorned  His  love  divine. 
Their  God  and  Saviour  they  forgot. 

Their  helper  and  their  stay. 
But  Moses  plead  the  promised  grace 

And,  turned  God's  wrath  away. 


The  Lord  approved  the  righteous  act 

Of  him  who  sin  abhorred, 
And  honored  him  forevermore 

With  just  and  great  reward. 
By  wicked  strife  they  angered  God, 

His  wrath  they  did  provoke; 
And,  stirred  by  their  rebellious  cries, 

Their  leader  rashly  spoke. 


Ensnared,  they  served  the  heathen  gods. 

And  by  them  were  beguiled  ; 
The  blood  of  children  sacrificed 

The  very  land  defiled. 
Against  His  own  inheritance 

Jehovah's  wrath  arose  ; 
His  chosen  people  He  condemned 

To  serve  their  heathen  foes. 

10. 

Though  from  their  harsh  ..oppressors' hand 

Ofttimes  He  set  them  free. 
Rebellious  still,  they  were  brought  low 

In  their  iniquity. 
When  unto  God  they  cried,  He  heard 

And  turned  again  His  face, 
In  boundless  love  remembering 

The  covenant  of  His  grace. 

11. 

He  even  touched  their  captors'  hearts. 

And  made  their  very  foes 
Compassionate  aud  pitiful 

To  feel  His  people's  woes. 
Save  us,  O  Lord,  our  gracious  God, 

From  alien  lands  reclaim. 
That  we  may  triumph  in  Thy  praise 

And  bless  Thy  holy  Name. 


12. 

Blessed  be  the  Lord  our  covenant  God, 

All  praise  to  Him  accord; 
Let  all  the  people  say.  Amen. 

Praise  ye,  praise  ye  the  Lord.

From  captivity  released, 

From  the  south  and  from  the  north, 
From  the  west  and  from  the  east, 

In  His  love  He  brought  them  forth, 
Ransomed  out  of  every  land 
From  the  adversary's  hand. 

3. 

Wandering  in  the  wilderness, 
Far  they  roamed  the  desert  way, 

Found  no  settled  dwelling-place 
Where  in  peace  secure  to  stay. 

Till  with  thirst  and  hunger  pressed 

Courage  sank  within  their  breast. 


To  Jehovah  then  they  cried 
in  their  trouble,  and  He  saved; 

He  Himself  became  their  guide. 
Led  them  to  the  rest  they  craved 

By  a  pathway  straight  and  sure. 

To  a  city  strong,  secure. 


5. 

Sons  of  men,  awake  to  praise 
God  the  Lord  Who  reigns  above, 

Gracious  in  His  works  and  ways. 
Wondrous  in  redeeming  love. 

Longing  souls  He  satisfies, 

Hungry  hearts  with  good  supplies.

6. 

Rebels,  who  had  dared  to  show 
Proud  contempt  of  God  Most  High, 

Bound  in  iron  and  in  woe, 
Shades  of  death  and  darkness  nigh. 

Humbled  low  with  toil  and  pain, 

Fell,  and  looked  for  help  in  vain. 


13. 

By  the  billows  heavenward  tossed, 
Down  to  dreadful  depths  again, 

Troubled  much,  their  courage  lost, 
Reeling,  they  like  drunken  men 

Find  their  skill  and  power  o'erthrown 

None  can  save  but  God  alone. 


To  Jehovah  then  they  cried 
In  their  trouble,  and  He  saved, 

Threw  the  prison  open  wide 
Where  they  lay  to  death  enslaved. 

Bade  the  gloomy  shadows  flee, 

Broke  their  bonds  and  set  them  free. 


Sons  of  men,  awake  to  praise 
God  the  Lord  Who  reigns  above. 

Gracious  in  His  works  and  ways. 
Wondrous  in  redeeming  love. 

Iron  bars  He  breaks  like  clay, 

And  the  brazen  gates  give  way. 


14. 

To  Jehovah  then  they  cry 
In  their  trouble,  and  He  saves, 

Drives  the  darkness  from  the  sky, 
Calms  the  storm  and  stills  the  waves, 

Makes  their  sad  forebodings  cease, 

To  their  haven  guides  in  peace. 

15. 

Sons  of  men,  awake  to  praise 
God  the  Lord  Who  reigns  above, 

Gracious  in  His  works  and  ways. 
Wondrous  in  redeeming  love. 

Praise  Him  where  the  people  meet. 

Praise  Him  in  the  elders'  seat. 


Men  who  walk  in  folly's  way. 

And  to  evil  turn  aside. 
Find  that  sorrow  will  repay 

Those  who  wisdom's  laws  defied: 
Down  to  death's  dark  portals  led. 
They  abhor  their  daily  bread. 

10. 

To  Jehovah  then  they  cry 
In  their  trouble,  and  He  saves, 

Sends  compassionate  reply, 
Gives  the  health  their  spirit  craves. 

Rescues  them  with  gracious  aid 

Frow  the  snares  their  folly  laid. 


16. 

Springs  and  streams  no  longer  bless 
All  the  dry  and  thirsty  land; 

Fertile  fields  in  verdant  dress 
God  converts  to  desert  sand; 

For  that  they  who  dwell  therein 

Turn  to  wickedness  and  sin. 

17. 

Once  again  the  waters  well; 

All  the  desert  blossoms  fair; 
There  He  makes  the  hungry  dwell, 

There  a  city  they  prepare, 
Plant  their  vines  and  sow  their  fields. 
And  the  earth  her  increase  yields. 


11. 

Sons  of  men,  awake  to  praise 
God  the  Lord  Who  reigns  above, 

■Gracious  in  His  works  and  ways, 
Wondrous  in  redeeming  love. 

Let  them  all  thank-offerings  bring. 

Celebrate  His  deeds,  and  sing. 

12. 

They  that  traffic  on  the  sea. 
While  unceasing  watch  they  keep. 

See  Jehovah's  majesty 
And  His  wonders  in  the  deep; 

For  He  bids  the  storm-wind  fly, 

Lifting  ocean's  waves  on  high. 


20. 


18. 

Now  He  blesses  them  indeed: 
They  are  greatly  multiplied; 

On  the  hills  their  cattle  feed. 
Fast  increasing,  spreading  wide: 

Then  again  ihey  are  brought  low 

Through  oppression;  grief,  and  woe. 

19. 

His  contempt  the  princes  taste; 

Driven  out  they  helpless  fly, 
Wandering  in  the  trackless  waste; 

But  He  lifts  the  needy  high. 
Where  no  evil  shall  annoy. 
And  with  children  gives  him  joy. 


When  His  righteous  judgments  come. 
Strong  to  bless  and  to  destroy. 

All  iniquity  is  dumb, 
All  the  righteous  sing  for  joy. 

Who  Jehovah  wisely  heed. 

In  His  works  His  mercy  read.

Against  me  slanderous  words  are  flung 
From  many  a  false  and  lying  tongue ; 
Without  a  cause  men  hurl  at  me 
The  shafts  of  deadly  enmity. 

3. 
My  good  with  evil  they  repay. 
My  love  turns  not  their  hate  away; 
The  part  of  vengeance,  Lord,  is  Thine; 
To  pray,  and  only  pray,  is  mine. 

4. 
Since  love  appeals  to  him  in  vain, 
The  slave  of  sin  let  him  remain  ; 
Against  him  let  his  foe  be  turned, 
His  sin  be  judged,  his  prayer  be  spurned. 

5. 
Let  sudden  death  upon  him  break, 
His  office  let  another  take. 
His  children  and  his  widowed  wife 
Pursue  the  homeless  beggar's  life. 

6. 
Let  creditors  consume  his  toil 
And  strangers  make  his  wealth  their  spoil, 
Let  none  in  pity  heed  his  claim  , 
Cut  off  his  race,  blot  out  his  name. 

7. 
His  parents'  sins  be  not  forgot 
Till  Thou  from  earth  his  memory  blot. 
Since  be  remembered  not  to  show 
Compassion  to  the  sons  of  woe. 


He  cursing  loved  and  blessing  loathed; 
Unblest,  with  cursing  he  is  clothed; 
For  thus  the  justice  of  the  Lord 
My  adversaries  will  reward. 

9. 
O  God,  the  Lord,  for  Thy  Name's  sake 
Let  me  of  Thy  good  grace  partake ; 
My  need  is  great,  and  great  Thou  art 
To  heal  my  wounded,  stricken  heart. 

10. 
With  failing  strength  1  fast  and  pine, 
Like  shadows  swift  my  days  decline  , 
And  when  my  foes  my  weakness  see 
They  shake  the  head  in  scorn  at  me. 

11. 
O  Lord  my  God,  Thy  help  I  crave; 
In  Thy  great  loving-kindness  save; 
Before  my  foes  Thy  mercy  show; 
That  Thou  dost  help  me  make  them  know. 

12. 
What  though  they  curse,  if  Thou  wilt  bless? 
Then  joy  shall  banish  my  distress, 
And  shame  shall  overwhelm  the  foes 
Who  would  Thy  servant's  way  oppose. 

13. 
Thanksgiving  to  the  Lord  I  raise; 
The  multitude  shall  hear  my  praise; 
For  by  the  needy  God  will  stand 
To  save  them  from  oppression's  hand.

Yea,  we  will  ever  bless  His  Name.

Most  kind  and  righteous  is  the  Lord  ; 

Our  God  is  merciful  indeed, 
Delighting  ever  to  afford 

His  help  to  me  in  time  of  need. 
Return  unto  thy  rest,  my  soul: 

The  Lord  has  richly  dealt  with  thee , 
Delivered  Ihee  from  death's  control, 

From  sin  and  sorrow  seth  thee  free. 


What  shall  I  render  to  the  Lord 

For  all  His  benefits  to  me? 
How  shall  my  soul  by  grace  restored 

Give  worthy  thanks,  O  Lord,  to  Thee? 
Salvation's  cup  of  blessing  now 

I  take,  and  call  upon  God's  Name; 
Before  His  saints  I  pay  my  vow 

And  here  my  gratitude  proclaim. 


Since  He  has  freed  mine  eyes  from  tears 

And  kept  my  feet  from  evil  ways, 
Redeemed  from  life's  distressing  fears. 

With  Him  1  walk,  and  Him  I  praise. 
In  my  affliction  and  my  pain, 

When  fears  alarmed  and  hopes  deceived, 
I  found  all  human  helpers  vain , 

But  in  the  Lord  my  soul  believed. 


5. 

His  saints  the  Lord  delights  to  save. 

Their  death  is  precious  in  His  sight; 
He  has  redeemed  me  from  the  grave. 

And  in  His  service  I  delight. 
With  thankful  heart  I  offer  now 

My  gift,  and  call  upon  God's  Name; 
Before  His  saints  I  pay  my  vow 

And  here  my  gratitude  proclaim. 


6. 

Within  His  house,  the  house  of  prayer, 

I  dedicate  myself  to  God ; 
Let  all  His  saints  His  grace  declare 

And  join  to  sound  His  praise  abroad. 
Within  His  house,  the  house  of  prayer, 

I  dedicate  myself  to  God; 
Let  all  His  saints  His  grace  declare

3. 

My  soul's  salvation  of  the  Lord  I  craved , 
The  gracious,  righteous  Lord,  all  pity  showing; 
The  simple  He  preserveth,  grace  bestowing; 
And  me,  brought  low,  He  in  His  mercy  saved. 

4. 

Return,  my  soul,  to  thy  sweet  rest  again: 
Before  the  Lord,  so  kindly,  safely  keeping 
From  death  and  falls  and  tears  of  bitter  weeping , 
I  now  will  walk  in  lands  of  living  men. 

5. 

In  my  alarm  I  said,  and  thus  believe, 
That  mine  was  such  a  great  and  sore  affliction, 
That  if  the  Lord  gave  not  His  benediction. 
All  promised  help  of  men  could  but  deceive. 


6. 

What  shall  1  render  to  the  Lord  to  day 
For  all  His  benefits  upon  me  falling? 
Salvation's  cup  I'll  take,  and  on  Him  calling, 
I,  where  His  people  meet,  my  vows  will  pay. 

7. 

Dear  to  the  Lord  are  saints  through  all  their  days ; 
And  precious  is  their  death;  they  have  not  perished : 
His  servant  born,  a  son  His  handmaid  cherised, 
I ,  loosed  from  bonds  by  Him,  His  name  will  praise. 


Yea,  I  the  sacrifice  of  thanks  will  bring, 
And,  in  the  midst  of  thee,  o  Zion  holy. 
Before  assembled  saints,  with  spirit  lowly. 
Will  pay  my  vows.  Praise  ye  the  Lord  our  King !

In  a  large  place  the  Lord  hath  set  me , 

In  my  distress  He  heard  my  cry ; 
I  will  not  fear;  the  Lord  is  with  me, 

What  can  man  do,  when  God  is  nigh? 
The  Lord  is  chief  among  my  helpers; 

And  I  shall  see  my  foes  o'erthrown: 
Far  better  than  in  man  or  princes , 

My  trust  I  place  in  God  alone. 

The  nations  all  around  me  gathered 

Their  enemy  to  scorn  and  scoff ; 
They  compassed  me  about  to  slay  me. 

But  in  God's  Name  I  cut  them  off. 
Although  like  bees  aroud  me  swarming. 

They  shall  be  quenched  like  thorns  on  fire : 
For  in  God's  Name  I  will  destroy  them, 

And  make  them  feel  my  rightful  ire. 

God's  help  appeared  when  foes  were  near  me, 

And  sought  to  lay  me  in  the  dust ; 
With  songs  of  triumph  now  are  ringing 

The  tabernacles  of  the  just! 
The  Lord  's  my  strength  and  my  salvation 

The  Lord  is  doing  valiantly; 
The  Lord's  right  hand  in  battle  mighty 

Gives  to  His  own  the  victory. 

I  shall  not  die,  but  live,  declaring 

The  works  of  God,  who  tried  me  sore, 
And  chastened  me;  but  in  His  mercy 

Not  unto  death  hath  given  me  o'er. 
The  gates  of  righteousness  set  open, 

The  gate  of  God!  — I'll  enter  in 
To  praise  Thee  Lord,  who  prayer  hast  answered, 

And  savedst  me  from  all  my  sin. 

The  stone  — o  Lord,  it  is  Thy  doing  — 

The  stone,  the  builders  did  despise, 
Is  made  the  head-stone  of  the  corner, 

And  it  is  marvelous  in  our  eyes. 
This  is  the  day,  of  days  most  glorious , 

The  Lord  hath  made;  we'll  joy  and  sing: 
Send  now  prosperity,  we  pray  Thee; 

And,  o  our  God,  salvation  bring! 

O  blessed  be  our  King,  who  cometh 

From  God,  who  made  the  light  to  rise. 
Blest  in  His  Name!  Now  to  the  altar 

With  praises  bind  the  sacrifice. 
Thou  art  my  God,  I  will  exalt  Thee; 

I  will  give  thanks  to  Thy  great  Name ; 
The  Lord  is  good,  o  Zion  praise  Him, 

His  mercy  ever  is  the  same!

Though  nations  compass  me  about, 

The  swarming  hosts  of  sin , 
Yet  in  the  Name  of  God  the  Lord 

I  shall  the  victory  win. 
The  Lord  hath  helped  and  kept  me  safe 

When  foes  were  fierce  and  strong; 
The  Lord  my  Saviour  is  become , 

He  is  my  strength  and  song. 


The  glorious  gates  of  righteousness 

Throw  open  unto  me , 
And  I  will  enter  Ihem  with  praise , 

O  Lord  ,  my  God  ,  to  Thee. 
This  is  Thy  temple-gate,  O  Lord; 

The  just  shall  enter  there, 
My  Saviour,  I  will  give  Thee  thanks, 

0  Thou  that  hearest  prayer. 


4. 


Salvation's  joyful  song  is  heard 

Where'er  the  righteous  dwell ; 
For  them  God's  hand  is  strong  to  save 

And  doeth  all  things  well. 
I  shall  not  die,  but  live  and  tell 

The  wonders  of  the  Lord  : 
He  hath  not  given  my  soul  to  death  , 

But  chastened  and  restored. 


6. 


The  stone  rejected  and  despised 

Is  now  the  corner-stone  ; 
How  wondrous  are  the  ways  of  God 

Unfathomed  and  unknown  ! 
In  this  the  day  that  Thou  hast  made, 

Triumphantly  we  sing; 
Send  now  prosperity,  O  Lord , 

O  Lord ,  salvation  bring. 


Hosanna  !    Ever  blest  be  He 

That  Cometh  in  God's  Name, 
The  blessing  of  Jehovah's  house 

Upon  you  we  proclaim.

The  Lord  our  God  hath  made ; 
Now  be  the  precious  sacrifice 

Upon  His  altar  laid.

With  the  ark  Thy  might  revealing, 

Enter,  Lord,  into  Thy  rest; 
Let  Thy  priests  be  clothed  with  justice. 

Let  Thy  joyful  saints  be  blest. 

Let  the  king  behold  Thy  favor 

For  Thy  servant  David's  sake , 
Unto  whom  in  truth  Thou  swaredst 

And  didst  faithful  promise  make. 
If  his  children  keep  Thy  covenant 

And  Thy  testimony  own  , 
Then,  as  Thou,  O  Lord,  hast  promised 

They  shall  sit  upon  his  throne. 


Thou,  the  Lord,  hast  chosen  Zion, 

Thou  hast  ever  loved  her  well : 
This  My  resting-place  forever, 

Here,  Thou  sayst,  1  choose  to  dwell. 
Surely  I  will  bless  and  help  her, 

Feed  her  poor,  her  saints  make  glad, 
And  her  priests  shall  stand  before  Me 

In  salvation's  garments  clad. 

I  will  cause  the  might  of  David 

Ever  more  and  more  to  grow, 
On  the  path  of  Mine  Anointed 

I  will  make  a  lamp  to  glow; 
All  His  enemies  shall  perish , 

I  will  cover  them  with  shame, 
But  His  crown  shall  ever  flourish , 

Blessed  be  His  holy  Name.

I  know  that  the  Lord  is  almighty, 

Supreme  in  dominion  is  He, 
Performing  His  will  and  good  pleasure 

In  heaven  and  in  earth  and  the  sea. 
His  hand  guides  the  clouds  in  their  courses, 

His  will  makes  the  lightnings  to  shine; 
The  wind  and  the  rain  do  His  bidding, 

Fulfilling  His  purpose  divine. 

To  ransom  His  people  from  bondage 

Great  wonders  and  signs  He  displayed; 
He  smote  all  the  first-born  of  Egypt, 

Till  Pharaoh  made  haste  and  obeyed. 
Great  nations  and  kings  that  opposed  Him 

Were  smitten  by  God's  mighty  hand; 
Their  riches  He  gave  to  His  people. 

And  made  them  inherit  the  land. 

Thy  Name  shall  abide,  O  Jehovah, 

Through  all  generations  renowned ; 
The  Lord  is  the  judge  of  His  people , 

His  mercies  forever  abound. 
Men's  idols  of  gold  and  of  silver 

Can  speak  not,  nor  hearken,  nor  see; 
Like  them  shall  their  makers  be  helpless 

Unblest  shall  their  worshipers  be. 


Ye  people  who  worship  Jehovah, 

His  praises  with  gladness  proclaim ; 
His  servants,  and  all  ye  that  fear  Him, 

Sing  praise  to  His  glorious  Name. 
O  Church  of  our  God,  sing  His  praises. 

For  with  you  and  in  you  He  dwells 
O  sing  Hallelujahs  before  Him, 

Whose  glory  all  praises  excels.

Stretching  out  His  mighty  hand : 
For  His  mercy  doth  endure , 
Ever  faithful ,  ever  sure. 


Mighty  kings  of  mighty  name 
He  destroyed  and  put  to  shame , 
Made  their  land  a  heritage 
For  His  saints  from  age  to  age: 
For  His  mercy  doth  endure , 
Ever  faithful ,  ever  sure. 


God  the  sea  asunder  clave , 
Brought  His  people  through  the  wave , 
Drowned  their  foes  beneath  the  deep , 
Through  the  desert  led  His  sheep : 

For  His  mercy  doth  endure. 

Ever  faithful ,  ever  sure. 


6. 

God  remembered  all  our  woe , 
Rescued  us  from  every  foe , 
Food  to  all  doth  He  supply ; 
Praise  the  Lord  enthroned  on  high 
For  His  mercy  doth  endure , 
Ever  faithful ,  ever  sure.

2.  There  our  rude  captors,  flushed  with  pride, 

A  song  required  to  mock  our  wrongs; 
Our  spoilers  called  for  mirth,  and  cried, 
Come,  sing  us  one  of  Zion's  songs. 

3.  Not  songs  but  sighs  to  us  belong 

When  Zion's  walls  in  ruin  lie ; 

How  shall  we  sing  Jehovah's  song 

While  in  an  alien  land  we  die? 


O  Zion  fair ,  God's  holy  hill , 
Wherein  our  God  delights  to  dwell, 

Let  my  right  hand  forget  her  skill 
If  I  forget  to  love  thee  well. 

If  I  do  not  remember  thee , 

Then  let  my  tongue  from  utterance  cease. 
If  any  earthly  joy  to  me 

Be  dear  as  Zion's  joy  and  peace. 


6.     Remember ,  Lord  ,  the  dreadful  day 

Of  Zion's  cruel  overthrow ; 

How  happy  he  who  shall  repay 

The  bitter  hatred  of  her  foe.

I  feel  Thy  power  on  every  side ; 

0  wondrous  knowledge  ,  awful  might , 
Unfathomed  depth,  unmeasured  height! 

3.  Where  can  I  go  apart  from  Thee , 
Or  whither  from  Thy  presence  flee? 
In  heaven— it  is  Thy  dwelling  fair; 

In  death's  abode— lo,  Thou  art  there. 

4.  If  I  the  wings  of  morning  take, 
And  far  away  my  dwelling  make, 
The  hand  that  leadeth  me  is  Thine , 
And  my  support  Thy  power  divine. 

5.  If  deepest  darkness  cover  me , 

The  darkness  hideth  not  from  Thee ; 
To  Thee  both  night  and  day  are  bright , 
The  darkness  shineth  as  the  light.

1  give  my  Maker  thankful  praise 
Whose  wondrous  works  my  soul  amaze. 

7.  E'er  into  being  1  was  brought , 

Thine  eye  did  see,  and  in  Thy  thought 
My  life  in  all  its  perfect  plan 
Was  ordered  e'er  my  days  began. 

8.  Thy  thoughts  ,  O  God  ,  how  manifold  , 
More  precious  unto  me  than  gold ! 

I  muse  on  their  infinity , 
Awaking  I  am  still  with  Thee. 

9.  The  wicked  Thou  wilt  surely  slay ; 
From  me  let  sinners  turn  away ; 
They  speak  against  the  Name  divine ; 
I  count  God's  enemies  as  mine. 

10.     Search  me  ,  0  God  ,  my  heart  discern  , 
Try  me ,  my  inmost  thought  to  learn ; 
And  lead  me,  if  in  sin  I  stray. 
To  choose  the  everlasting  way.

My  captive  soul  from  prison  bring. 
And  glad  shall  be  my  thankful  song.

Lord,  what  is  man,  what  hath  he  wrought. 
The  son  of  man.  that  in  Thy  thought 

To  hold  him  Thou  shouldst  deign? 
For  man  is  like  a  breath,  a  sigh; 
His  days  on  earth  as  quickly  fly 

As  shadows  o'er  the  plain. 


O  Thou  to  Whom  in  trust  I  flee , 
Stretch  forth  Thy  hand  and  rescue  me 

From  all  the  alien  throng. 
Whose  mouth  but  vanity  doth  speak, 
Whose  hand  of  strength  against  the  weak 

Is  filled  with  craft  and  wrong. 


Lord,  bow  Thy  heavens,  in  might  descend; 
Touch  Thou  the  hills,  the  mountains  rend. 

And  they  shall  smoke  and  flame ; 
As  arrows  send  Thy  lightnings  out 
To  put  Thine  enemies  to  rout, 

And  fill  Thy  foes  with  shame. 


O  happy  land,  whose  sons  in  youth  , 
In  sturdy  strength  and  noble  truth  , 

Like  plants  in  vigor  spring; 
Whose  daughters  fair ,  a  queenly  race 
Are  like  the  corner-stones  that  grace 

The  palace  of  a  king. 


Stretch  forth  Thy  hand  and  rescue  me 
From  trouble's  dark  and  raging  sea. 

And  from  the  alien  throng. 
Whose  mouth  but  vanity  doth  speak, 
Whose  hand  of  strength  against  the  weak 

Is  filled  with  craft  and  wrong. 


O  happy  land ,  when  flock  and  field 
Their  rich,  abundant  increase  yield. 

And  blessings  multiply  ; 
When  plenty  all  thy  people  share, 
And  no  invading  foe  is  there , 

And  no  distressful  cry. 


Now  will  I  sing  a  glad  new  song, 
Thy  praise,  0  God,  I  will  prolong. 

For  Thou  hast  heart  my  prayer. 
Salvation  Thou  dost  give  to  kings. 
Thine  own  dost  keep,  with  sheltering  wings. 

From  hurtful  sword  and  snare. 


O  happy  people,  favored  land, 

To  whom  the  Lord  with  liberal  hand 

Hath  thus  His  goodness  shown  ; 
Yea,  surely  is  that  people  blest 
By  whom  Jehovah  is  confessed 

To  be  their  God  alone.

Upon  Thy  glorious  majesty 

And  wondrous  works  my  mind  shiall  dwell; 
Thy  deeds  shall  fill  the  world  with  awe, 

And  of  Thy  greatness  I  will  tell. 
Thy  matchless  goodness  and  Thy  grace 

Thy  people  shall  commemorate, 
And  all  Thy  truth  and  righteousness 

My  joyful  song  shall  celebrate. 


The  Lord  upholds  the  faltering  feet 

And  makes  the  weak  securely  stand ; 
The  burdened  ones,  bowed  down  with  grief. 

Are  helped  by  His  most  gracious  hand. 
The  eyes  of  all  upon  Thee  wait; 

By  Thee  their  wants  are  all  supplied ; 
Thine  open  hand  is  bountiful. 

And  every  soul  is  satisfied. 


6. 


The  Lord  our  God  is  rich  in  grace , 

Most  tender  and  compassionate  ; 
His  anger  is  most  slow  to  rise , 

His  loving-kindness  is  most  great. 
The  Lord  is  good  in  all  His  ways. 

His  creatures  know  His  constant  care ; 
To  all  His  works  His  love  extends , 

All  men  His  tender  mercies  share. 


The  Lord  is  just  in  all  His  ways, 

In  all  His  works  the  Lord  is  kind; 
And  all  that  call  on  Him  in  truth 

In  Him  a  present  helper  find. 
He  will  fulfil  the  heart's  desire 

Of  those  that  fear  Him  and  obey; 
Their  cry  the  Lord  will  surely  hear. 

And  He  will  save  them  when  they  pray. 


Thy  works  shall  give  Thee  thanks,  0  Lord 

Thy  saints  Thy  mighty  acts  shall  show, 
Till  o'er  the  earth  the  sons  of  men 

Thy  kingdom,  power,  and  glory  know. 
Eternal  is  Thy  kingdom,  Lord, 

Forever  strong  and  ever  sure; 
While  generations  rise  and  die 

Shall  Thy  dominion  still  endure. 


His  great  salvation  they  shall  know 

Who  love  the  Lord's  most  holy  Name ; 
The  wicked  He  will  overthrow 

And  put  His  enemies  to  shame. 
My  mouth  shall  speak  the  glorious  praise 

Of  Him  Whom  heaven  and  earth  adore. 
Let  all  exalt  His  holy  Name 

Forever  and  forevermore.

In  princes  of  the  earth- 
Sons  of  but  mortal  birth — 

Put  not  your  trust. 
Their  breath  flies  fast  away, 
They  soon  return  to  clay, 
Their  thoughts,  that  very  day, 

Are  but  as  dust. 


He  truth  forever  keeps. 
His  justice  never  sleeps 

For  those  oppressed; 
The  sufferer's  cry  He  heeds, 
With  bread  the  hungry  feeds, 
And  forth  the  captive  leads. 

With  freedom  blessed. 


But  he  is  ever  blest. 

Whose  help  and  hope  all  rest 

In  God  the  Lord— 
Who  hath  the  heavens  arrayed, 
Who  earth's  foundations  laid. 
And  seas  and  all  things  made 

By  His  great  word. 


The  blinded  eye  He  clears, 
Lifts  those  bowed  down  in  tears. 

And  loves  His  saints. 
The  stranger  He  befriends, 
The  fatherless  defends. 
The  widow's  prayer  attends. 

Whose  lone  heart  faints. 


6.     Soon  shall  the  wicked  learn 
How  He  will  overturn 

Their  evil  ways. 
The  Lord  shall  ever  reign. 
And  still  thy  God  remain; 
Praise  Him  with  joyful  strain, 

O  Zion ,  praise!

2.  Put  no  confidence  in  princes, 

Nor  for  help  on  man  depend; 
He  shall  die,  to  dust  returning, 
And  his  purposes  shall  end. 

3.  Happy  is  the  man  that  chooses 

Israel's  God  to  be  his  aid ; 
He  is  blest  whose  hope  of  blessing 
On  the  Lord  his  God  is  stayed. 

4.  Heaven  and  earth  the  Lord  created, 

Seas  and  all  that  they  contain; 
He  delivers  from  oppression, 
Righteousness  He  will  maintain. 


5.  Food  He  daily  gives  the  hungry. 

Sets  the  mourning  prisoner  free. 
Raises  those  bowed  down  with  anguish, 
Makes  the  sightless  eyes  to  see. 

6.  Well  Jehovah  loves  the  righteous , 

And  the  stranger  He  befriends. 

Helps  the  fatherless  and  widow. 

Judgment  on  the  wicked  sends. 

7.  Over  all  God  reigns  forever. 

Through  all  ages  He  is  King; 
Unto  Him,  thy  God,  O  Zion, 
Joyful  Hallelujahs  sing.

2.  The  starry  hosts  He  numbers, 

He  calls  them  all  by  name; 
His  greatness  and  His  wisdom 

His  wondrous  works  proclaim 
The  meek  He  lifts  to  honor, 

He  humbles  sinful  pride; 
Give  thanks  to  Him  and  utter 

His  praises  far  and  wide. 

3.  The  heavens  with  clouds  He  covers, 

He  sends  the  cheering  rain; 
The  slopes  of  all  the  mountains 

He  fills  with  grass  and  grain. 
To  beast  and  bird  His  goodness 

Their  daily  food  supplies; 
He  cares  for  all  His  creatures. 

Attentive  to  their  cries. 

4.  No  human  power  delights  Him, 

No  earthly  pomp  or  pride; 
He  loves  the  meek  who  fear  Him 

And  in  His  love  confide. 
Then  praise  thy  God,  O  Zion; 

His  gracious  aid  confess; 
He  gives  thee  peace  and  plenty, 

His  gifts  thy  children  bless. 

5.  He  sends  His  swift  commandment. 

And  snow  and  ice  enfold 
The  world,  and  none  are  able 

To  stand  before  His  cold. 
Again  He  gives  commandment: 

The  winds  of  summer  blow. 
The  snow  and  ice  are  melted. 

Again  the  waters  flow. 

6.  His  statutes  and  His  judgments 

He  makes  His  people  know; 
To  them  as  to  no  others 

His  grace  He  loves  to  show. 
For  matchless  grace  and  mercy 

Your  grateful  praises  bring; 
To  Him  give  thanks  forever, 

And  Hallelujah  sing.

God  spake  through  the  prophets,  the  holy  of  old,

2.  What  glorious  works,  o  God  of  truth  and  grace, 
Hast  Thou  prepared  before  all  peoples'  face  : 
The  banner  of  eternal  love  unfurled 

In  Christ,  Thy  Son,  to  lighten  all  the  world. 

3.  A  light,  the  Heathen  darkness  to  dispel. 
The  glory  of  Thy  people  Israel ; 

Shine  forth  and  spread  Thy  radiance  near  and  far, 
Thou  Savior,  God,  Thou  bright  and  Morningstar!

Praise  ye  the  Father,  Son  and  Holy  Spirit; 
Praise  Him  ye  saints  on  earth  and  ye  saints  in  glory; 
For  His  redeeming  love  and  the  bliss  of  heaven,

TUNE  PSALM  3. 


Praise  ye  the  Lord,  ye  hosts  above. 
In  yonder  heavenly  height, 

And  bless  the  Lord,  ye  saints  below, 
Who  in  His  praise  delight. 

By  all  His  creatures  let  His  Name 

Be  honored  and  adored; 
Let  all  that  breathe,  in  praise  unite 

To  glorify  the  Lord. 


TUNE  PSALM  117. 

Hallelujah  !    Hallelujah  ! 

Earth  and  heaven  in  sweet  accord 
Join  to  sound  Jehovah's  praises, 

Tell  the  glory  of  the  Lord. 

Hallelujah!    Hallelujah! 

Magnify  Jehovah's  Name. 
Praise  the  living  God,  your  Maker; 

All  that  breathe.  His  praise  proclaim.

Praise  Him  ye  creatures  here  below;

Dear  Dr. -Benson     .      .     •    ' 

Jermlt  me  to  thank  you  for  your  acknowledgement .dated 
Cot.  SO, of  the  copy  of  the  History  of  the  Christian  Reformed 
Church.  I  am  much  Interested  In  your  society  and  what  it 

stands  for  and  hence  it  was  a  pleasure  to  me  to  mall  you 
the  book. 
Now  about  (the  late)Rev.H.Vander77erp's  Psalter.  It  is  ort  of 
print  and  it  not  likely^  to  be  reprinted. 

The  book  was  not  generally  endorsed.  While  it  contains  some 
tunes  which  are  historically  precious  tc  our  Dutch  - salm- 
slngers,  they  were  considered  too  slow  by  our  younger  element 
and  moreover  there  was  too  much   repetltlon--or  as  I  might 
rather;  put  lt--too  little  variety  of  tunes.  ■. 
.Consequently, our  Synod  of  1914  endorsed  the  new  U.P.Psalter 
instead  of  bro. ^ander 'erp's. 
But  although  out  of  print, I  have  been  able  to  secure  two  copies 
for  you, which  will  be  nailed  by  the  ynTi^mrnml  t ni'i.  or  this 

city  which  will  also  send  you  the  bill  for  the  same.

Yours  verji  truly.
